Wikipedia description:

Tarawih (Arabic: التَّرَاوِيح, romanized: At-tarāwīḥ), also spelled Taraweeh, refers to special Sunnah prayers performed exclusively by Sunni Muslims during the Islamic month of Ramadan. The prayers involve the recitation of long portions of the Quran, consist of any number of even rak'a (cycles of prostration in an Islamic prayer), however most of the time either 8 or 20, and are often finished with the Witr prayer. A key feature of Tarawih is the completion of the Quran during the month. The practice remains a significant aspect of Ramadan worship for many Sunni Muslims.
