On The Tarawih Controversy

A simple, unedited translation of al-Sayyid ‘Allawi’s essay on the real lessons we should take from tarawih.

“This inclusive approach to the sunnah reflects the mercy and flexibility inherent in Islamic teachings, allowing Muslims to connect with their faith in a way that is both authentic to the prophetic example and adaptable to the realities of their own lives. It underlines the importance of scholarly interpretation and the need for Muslims to engage with the teachings of Islam in a thoughtful, informed manner, guided by the knowledge and wisdom of those who have dedicated their lives to studying the religious texts.”
