    About this ebook

    ‘Tarawih’ (Arabic) comes from the root word that means to take a rest, and take rest I did.Notes After Terawih is a series of word sketches I drew based on my distracted observation during night prayers, or terawih prayers, done in a single mosque during Ramadhan. Thousands of us here in Singapore engage in terawih for thirty nights in a row – that’s a huge multitude of experiences. Yet, all these experiences are tucked within the walls of the mosque and ultimately remain in Ramadhan... As a new kid in this terawih thing, I decided to take some notes. None of these were written on the spot. Instead, they were recalled and typed on my phone as I headed home for the night.

      Taraweeh (Arabic) or terawih (Malay) is a kind of ritual prayer only done at night and only in Ramadhan. That’s what makes it special, only in Ramadhan.

      There’s a lot of physical movement in prayer—going up, bending down, going to the floor and stuff like that. Different sitting positions too. After a day of work and fasting, it might be a little tiring for some people. But I feel like terawih is a celebration of Ramadhan. I’ve heard my uncle refer to it as sembahyang happy, happy prayer. Taraweeh actually means rest. The prayer is done in short intervals with rests in between. Many people do it in congregation, at the mosque or at the void deck, mostly at a mosque I think, so it’s quite
