Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
InshaAllah, *Salat al-Tarawih will begin on Wednesday, 18 February 2026, after Salat al-Isha. We will pray 20 raka‘at the (Wtir) prayer, starting from the beginning of the Qur’an and continuing nightly until we complete the Khatm al-Qur’an by the end of Ramadan, bi’ithnillah*
We warmly invite all Muslims in Geelong to join us for Salat al-Isha and Tarawih. After 4 Rakat, a short reminder, we will continue the prayer until completion each night, inshaAllah.
🌙 The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever prays with the Imam until he finishes, it will be recorded for him as if he prayed the whole night.” (Tirmidhi)
📌 Thursday is expected to be the first day of Ramadan. Those following other schools of thought are highly encouraged to join us in the Tarawih prayer tomorrow with the intention of Qiyam al-Layl, as night prayer is a Sunnah every night. By attending, you will not miss the blessing of completing the Qur’an with us, inshaAllah.
✨ Important Tarawih Etiquettes & Advice:
– Come in your best clothes, and wear good perfume, as the Prophet ﷺ loved fragrance.
– Bring water with you and avoid overeating at iftar so you don’t feel sleepy.
– Please wear socks in the masjid
– Listen to the Qur’an with khushu‘ and tadabbur, reflecting on the words of Allah.
– Avoid arguments, comparisons between masjids or imams, and differences of schools — come with unity and sincerity.
– Renew your niyyah, asking Allah for forgiveness and acceptance; even two sincere raka‘at can be greater than many without focus.
– Dear sisters, you are most welcome to attend Tarawih and Khatm al-Qur’an — please kindly supervise children and minimise noise so others can listen peacefully.
– Be mindful of neighbours’ comfort, arrive and depart quietly and park responsibly.
May Allah make this Ramadan a month of change, mercy, forgiveness, and freedom from the Hellfire. Ameen 🤲
Jazakum Allahu khairan.
