The schedule is structured to guide worshipers through each of the 30 nights of Ramadan, with clear details on which imam will lead specific segments of the Taraweeh prayers. Here’s how to interpret the table:
Taraweeh prayers during Ramadan are divided into three parts:
- First Rakats mean: 6 Rakats
- Second Rakats mean: 4 Rakats
- Last Rakats mean: 2 Rakats + 3 Witr (a special prayer)
When Sheikh Sudais leads the Taraweeh:
- 4 Rakats will be led by Imams in first and second rakats and last 2 rakats and Witr will be led by Sheikh Sudais.
