Ask Qul - Shia Sunni Dialogue - Shia view on Taraweeh

Pearl of Wisdom

'Whoever gives a speaker his full attention has indeed expressed a form of worship or adulation to him. If the speaker leads one to Allah through his words, then it is as if one worships Allah [by giving him attention], but if he leads one to Satan through his words, it is as if one worships Satan.'

Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Taqi [as]

Ibid. v. 6, p. 434, no. 24

Subject:	Shia view on Taraweeh
Question:	what is the Shia view on teravi? Is it considered haram to participate in teravim or is it just not recommended?
Answer:	Salaam alaykum, It is considered an innovation and therefore it is haram to participate in it. One is not allowed to make up acts of worship; rather, he must follow the prescription provided by Allah through the Prophet (s) and the Ahl al-Bayt (a). Fi amanillah
