A Unique Spiritual Atmosphere: Taraweeh Prayers in Qatar

As the holy month of Ramadan begins, an atmosphere of faith and spirituality spreads across Qatar, where worshippers gather in mosques to perform Taraweeh prayers—one of the most cherished Ramadan traditions. Every night, the melodious recitations of the Imams blend with the devotion of the worshippers, especially in major mosques like Imam Muhammad Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab Mosque and Msheireb Prayer Ground, which witness a large turnout 

of both locals and expatriates.
