1. The Special Virtue of Tarawih on the 16th Night: Saved from the Fire of Hell and Guaranteed Paradise

The 16th night of Ramadan is not an ordinary night. In Durratun Nasihin, it is mentioned that someone who performs the Tarawih prayer on this night will be granted a great blessing, namely salvation from the fire of hell and freedom to enter paradise. This shows how great Allah's love is for His servants who are earnest in worship during the month of Ramadan.

وَفِى اللَّيْلَةِ السَّادِسَةَ عَشَرَتَ كَتَبَ اللَّيـ لَهُ بَرَاءَةَ النَّجَاؠِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَبَرَاءَةَ الدُّخُلِ مِنَ الْجَنَّīـ

"On the sixteenth night, Allah records the freedom from hellfire and the freedom to enter paradise for him," as stated in Durratun Nasihin, quoted from ponpes.miftahulihsan.sch.id.

In addition to being a form of devotion to Allah, the Tarawih prayer also serves as a means for every Muslim to enhance their spiritual quality. This virtue encourages Muslims to be more diligent in performing worship, especially during the last ten nights of Ramadan.

For anyone who performs the Tarawih prayer with full sincerity, Allah SWT will record them as one of the servants entitled to receive intercession in the hereafter. This opportunity should certainly not be missed, considering the immense rewards and virtues associated with it.

2. Atonement of Sins and Glory for Those Who Perform Tarawih on the 16th Night

The 16th night of Ramadan is a special moment for Muslims, where the tarawih prayer is not just an act of worship, but also a guarantee of forgiveness of sins and freedom from the torment of hell, as well as the promise of paradise. In a hadith from Bukhari, it is stated that those who perform night prayers with full faith will have all their sins forgiven.

This serves as a strong motivation to remain consistent in performing tarawih even though Ramadan has entered its second half. Each rak'ah performed is not just a number, but a testament to piety and a field of abundant rewards.

Moreover, for those who faithfully perform tarawih, the rewards received are equivalent to the rank of the righteous and the martyrs. This is why tarawih is considered one of the most valuable Sunnah acts of worship in a Muslim's life.

3. Recommended Acts on the 16th Night of Ramadan

In addition to the tarawih prayer, there are several other practices recommended to be done on the night of the 16th of Ramadan to further strengthen the virtues of worship in this holy month. Here are some practices that can be done:

Increasing dhikr and prayers: Remembering Allah at every opportunity will make the heart more at peace and increase closeness to Him.

Reading the Qur'an: Ramadan is the month of the Qur'an, so it is encouraged to read more and understand its meanings.

Giving charity: Sharing blessings with those in need is one of the best ways to attain blessings.

Performing night prayers (tahajud): In addition to tarawih, tahajud serves as a means to draw closer to Allah and ask for all worldly and afterlife needs.

Increasing istighfar and repentance: The night of the 16th is the right moment to repent and seek forgiveness for past sins.

4. Multiplied Rewards for Those Who Pray Tarawih in Congregation

One of the special features of performing the Tarawih prayer is doing it in congregation, which not only brings multiplied rewards but also strengthens the bonds of brotherhood among Muslims.

In a hadith narrated by Abu Dawud, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) stated that whoever prays at night with the imam until the end will receive a reward equivalent to praying the entire night.

This virtue illustrates the great rewards for those who perform Tarawih in congregation, while also creating a more solemn and blessed atmosphere during Ramadan, making this moment of worship even more valuable and meaningful.
