| slm, Are you allowed to follow along in the Quran with the Imam during Tarawih prayers?? I have heard that you can, but I have an extra addition to the question. Are you allowed to follow along in English, perhaps granted you're going along the same pace as the Imam? It seems a bit odd doing this, but it really keeps your concentration where its supposed to be. Anyways, if anyone knows the answer, pereferably before 3:30 CST today ;), I would really appreciate it. Jazakum Allahu Khairan. Wassalamu Alaikum, Nazia |

| Salam Nazia, I'd suggest doing this before you go to taraweeh that day.. Then you can really follow what's going on. |

| assalaamu alaikum A couple of years ago, Sh. Suhaib used to hold the Qur'an and follow the imam in tarawih. This was because he was the 'official' corrector for the imam in case he made mistakes in the recitation. I remember some brothers asking him if they could hold the Qur'an too whilst following the imam and he disapproved of it. Now that we have 3 imams, he doesn't hold the Qur'an in his hand during salaah. As for following the English translation, you should ask a scholar, but what comes to my mind is that if we're following it in English it seems to take the onus off of us to learn Arabic and learn the Qur'an in its original language.

| Assalam-u-Alaikum I seem to recall something regarding this. I *think*, it is allowed to hold the Qur'an and follow the imam with it in all the salahs except the fard salahs, Wallahu-Alam. But then again, Kashif is quoting the action of Sheikh. You'll have to consult a scholar regarding the reading in english. Wallahu-'Alam Wassalam-u-Alaikum Uzer |

| wlm, we asked our imam last year as well, after we saw alot of pictures of people reading from Qurans at the haram on TV. and he discouraged us from doing it. he said it's better if you stand in qiyam and listen. |

| From Kashif: assalaamu alaikum Check out the new and improved [url]http://www.islam-qa.com[/url] Kashif Wa Salaam --------- #10067 Question: What is the ruling on holding the Mus-haf in the case of one who is following an imaam in praying Taraaweeh in Ramadan, on the grounds that he is following the imaam?s recitation? Answer: Praise be to Allaah. Holding the Mus-haf for this reason is contrary to the Sunnah, for several reasons: 1. It prevents a person from placing his right hand over his left when standing. 2. It leads to a lot of unnecessary movements, such as opening the Mus-haf, closing it, and placing it under one's arm. 3. These movements are very distracting to the worshipper. 4. It prevents the worshipper from looking at the place of sujood. Many scholars say that looking at the place of sujood is Sunnah and is better. 5. The one who does that may forget that he is in prayer, unless his heart is properly focused upon his being in prayer, unlike when he is standing in a humble and focused manner with his right hand upon his left, tilting his head towards the place of sujood. In this case he will be more likely to remember that he is praying and that he is behind the imaam.
