The reason I go for taraweeh is because I can listen to the whole Qur'aan in taraweeh, feel spiritualy enhanced and concentrate better, and ponder on the words of Allah. If I was praying at home it would be different - short surahs and done in 30 minutes. Whereas at the Mosque I spend over 1 hour 30 minutes praying to Allah. 'Ibaadah isn't always about reward (If that was the case instead of praying Qur'an we would just repeat surah ikhlaas as many times right?), it is about what makes you a better servant of Allah, so that he loves you and you become close to him. Calculating in terms of reward, surely that is an incentive, but that shouldn't be our ultimate aim. Our ultimate aim should be to please Allah 'azza wa jal, and obey him in the manner that he wanted us to.
How can one not be bothered to pray to Allah and listen to the Qur'an? I wonder if the hanafi scholars also forbid their wives from praying taraweeh in Masjid al Haraam?Seriously, how can they be bothered?
