Taraweeh Ki Dua

Taraweeh is a special Sunnah prayer offered during the holy month of Ramadan after the Isha prayer. Between every four rak'ahs, worshippers take a short break before continuing the prayer. During these rest intervals it is a common practice to recite a specific tasbeeh known as Dua e Taraweeh to glorify Allah.

Dua e Taraweeh in Arabic, Urdu & English

Here is the traditional tasbeeh recited during the Taraweeh breaks:

سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمُلْكِ وَالْمَلَكُوتِ، سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْعِزَّةِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ وَالْهَيْبَةِ وَالْقُدْرَةِ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْجَبَرُوتِ، سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَنَامُ وَلَا يَمُوتُ، سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالرُّوحِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنَا مِنَ النَّارِ، يَا مُجِيرُ يَا مُجِيرُ يَا مُجِيرُ

• Urdu Translation: پاک ہے وہ ذات جو زمین اور آسمان کی بادشاہی والی ہے، پاک ہے وہ ذات جو عزت، عظمت، ہیبت، قدرت، بڑائی اور جبروت والی ہے، پاک ہے وہ بادشاہ جو زندہ ہے، نہ سوتا ہے اور نہ مرتا ہے، انتہائی پاک اور قدوس ہے ہمارا رب اور فرشتوں اور روح کا رب، اے اللہ! ہمیں آگ سے پناہ دے، اے پناہ دینے والے، اے پناہ دینے والے، اے پناہ دینے والے۔
• English Translation: "Exalted is the Possessor of the hidden and the manifest dominion. Exalted is the Possessor of Might, Greatness, Reverence, Power, Pride, and Majesty. Exalted is the Master, the Living, the one who neither sleeps nor dies. All-perfect, All-holy, Our Lord, and the Lord of the angels and the souls. O Allah, grant us refuge from the Hellfire. O Granter of refuge, O Granter of refuge, O Granter of refuge. "

Why Is There a Rest Interval in Taraweeh?

Taraweeh literally means "to rest." In Islam, worshippers take a short break (called a Tarweehah) after completing four rak'ahs. Instead of just sitting quietly. It is common practice to use those few minutes to recite tasbeeh, dhikr or pray for your needs.

Benefits of Reciting Dua e Taraweeh

Taking time for dhikr during the breaks offers several key benefits:

• Praise Allah: It keeps your heart attached to praising Allah’s greatness.
• Ask for Safety: It offers a peaceful interval to pray for safety from the Fire and seek forgiveness.
• Rest Your Mind and Body: It gives a physical pause to recover before standing again.
