PATNA: Come Ramzan and people spend most of the time on prayers and doing charity. With nearly two weeks of Ramzan over now, many have completed their Taraweeh prayer and some are continuing with it. Interestingly, many woman devotees are also gathering nowadays to offer Taraweeh in the city.
Taraweeh is the special prayer performed in the month of Ramzan in congregation after Esha prayer (evening). Apart from mosques, many people also arrange for congregation at their homes or in community halls. At least three mosques in the city are especially catering to the Taraweeh prayer service for women. They are at Abdul Hai Commercial Complex on Exhibition Road, Bank Road and Masjid Alay Fatima Hai on the campus of Paras hospital.
Shaheen Parween of Samanpura said she has been going to the mosque every day this year to perform Taraweeh. Earlier, she used to offer Taraweeh in an apartment with a few other women. Nuzhat Parween, 18, also goes to the same mosque for Taraweeh. "This is for the first time that I am offering Taraweeh prayer during Ramzan," she told TOI.
