تراویح کی نیت (نفل نماز کی نیت)

🌙 نیت عربی میں:

نَوَيْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ سُنَّةَ التَّرَاوِيحِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ للهِ تَعَالَى وَجْهَهُ الكَرِيمِ، مُتَوَجِّهًا إِلَى القِبْلَةِ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ

🌙 نیت اردو میں:

“میں اللہ تعالیٰ کے لیے دو رکعت تراویح کی سنت نیت کرتا/کرتی ہوں، رخ میرا کعبہ شریف کی طرف ہے، اللہ اکبر۔”

🔹 اہم بات:

• تراویح کی نماز 2، 4، 6، 8 یا 20 رکعات کے مجموعوں میں پڑھی جاتی ہے۔
• نیت دل کے ارادے کا نام ہے، زبان سے کہنا ضروری نہیں، لیکن اگر آسانی کے لیے زبان سے کہیں تو بھی جائز ہے۔
