Re: Tarawih - Wajib or not
^ ahsant. For every Ibadat, our niyat is Qurabatan Ilallah = seeking nearness to Allah. What nearness are we seeking? Is it physical nearness or timely nearness? They are neither timely nor physical but nearness to the Will of Allah SWT.
Iblis did Ibadat and belived in Tauhid too but did not bow down to the Will of Allah, which is the real essence of the Ibadat. Even prostration in a certain direction towards Qibal is only done so because its Allahs Will. Otherwise Allah is everywhere including east/west/north/south.
