🍃The Virtue of Praying Tarāwīh behind the Imām
At-Tirmithī reported from the way of Hannād, from Muḥammad Ibn Fudayl, from Dāwūd Ibn Abī Hind, from Al-Walīd ibn 'Abdur-Rahmān, from Jubayr Ibn Nufayr who reported from Abū Dharr who narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:
«مَنْ قَامَ مَعَ الإِمَامِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ كُتِبَ لَهُ قِيَامُ لَيْلَةٍ»
Whoever stands in prayer (Tarāwīh) with the Imām until he departs will have written for him the standing of the whole night (meaning in prayer; Qiyām-ul-Layl).
🔸In the Sharh of Bulūgh al-Marām, under 649th Hadīth, Shaykh Al-Muhaddith al-'Alwān said: this chain is Hassan.
🔸He also said in the Sharh of Sunan at-Tirmithī: this was reported by Abū Dāwūd with a strong chain (what this means is to pray behind the Imām till he has finished, and when he prays Witr, to pray that too with him. And for the one who intends to pray more in the night, they can pray in 2 units, and brought dalīl for this*)

The chain is Hassan and this has been declared so by at-Tirmithī, Ibn Jārūd, Ibn Khuzaymah, Ibn Hibbān and even At-Tūsī.

*At-Tirmidhi (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
The scholars differed concerning the one who prays Witr at the beginning of the night then prays qiyām at the end of the night…
Some of the scholars among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others said: If he prays Witr at the beginning of the night, then sleeps, then gets up at the end of the night, he may offer whatever prayers he likes, but he should leave his Witr as it was. This is the view of Sufyān ath-Thawri, Mālik ibn Anas, Ibn al-Mubārak, ash-Shāfa‘i, the scholars of Kūfah, and Ahmad.
This is more correct, because it was narrated via more than one isnād that the Prophet ﷺ prayed after Witr.

In his series on Qiyām-ul-Layl, Shaykh Abū Ubādah Harīth ash-Shiraida حفظه الله explains the strangeness of the same Hadīth (of praying behind the Imām), yet as you can see from the above, the scholars quoted do accept that Hadīth.
And he (Abū Ubādah) also mentions in the second part of this series that the best time is at the last portion of the night. These are differences of opinion among the scholars, do your research and act according to what seems to be more according to the Qur'ān and Sunnah.
And Allāh ta'ālā knows best.
May Allāh have mercy on our ulamah and our students of knowledge and preserve them. May Allāh guide us.

The Marathon 🏃🏽♂️
Al-Hasan al-Basrī (d.110H) is reported to have said:
إن الله جعل شهر رمضان مضمارًا لخلقه يستبقون فيه بطاعته إلى مرضاته، فسبق قوم ففازوا، وتخلف آخرون فخابوا، فالعجب من اللاعب الضاحك في اليوم الذي يفوز فيه المحسنون ويخسر فيه المبطلون
"Allāh has made Ramadān a race track for His creation in which they compete in obedience to Him, towards His Pleasure. While some people precede and win, others fall behind and left bitterly disappointed.
The winners will marvel with laughter on the Day (of Judgement) for their excellent run, while the losers are disqualified."

The month of Ramadân between the other months is like Yûsuf عليه الصلاة والسلام between his brothers.
So just as Yûsuf is the most beloved of the children to Ya’qûb, Ramadân is the most beloved of months to ‘Allâmul-Ghuyûb (Allâh).

It is proven in the story about Ka‘b ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him), when he stayed behind from the campaign to Tabook, that he said: O Messenger of Allaah, as part of my repentance, I will give up my wealth as charity to Allaah and His Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Keep some of your wealth; that is better for you.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2758) and Muslim (2769).
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This indicates that it is mustahabb to give charity in gratitude to Allah for ongoing blessings, especially great blessings.

Ubay ibn Ka’b رضي الله عنه narrated:
The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to pray Witr with three rak’ah. In the first he would recite: “Glorify the Name of Your Lord, the Most High.” [Sûrah al-A’lâ], in the second: "Say: O you disbelievers!" [Sûrah al-Kâfirûn], and in the third: "Say: He is Allah, (the) One". [Sûrah al-Ikhlâs]. And he would say the Qunût before Rukû’, and when he finished he would say: “Subhânal-Malikil-Quddûs” (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy) three times, elongating the words the last time.
[Narrated in Sunan an-Nasâ’î, and it was authenticated by ibn al-Qattân, al-Hasanî, al-Hâshimî, as-Sa’d and others]

WITR & QUNŪT IN RAMAḌĀN PART 2: HUKM It was also narrated from Ubayy ibn Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him) and a number of other Sahaabah that they did not recite Qunoot at all in Ramadan, and some of the scholars regarded it as mustahabb for the imam…
Second half officially begins on the night of 16, after the first half has ended (Not on 15th)
And it is proven from the Sahabah that they used to recite Qunut in Witr starting from the night of 16

❌ Bid'ah of celebrating some nights of Ramaḍān
With regard to bid’ah (innovation), it is not permissible either in Ramadaan or at other times. It was proven that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever innovates anything in this matter of ours [Islam] that is not part of it will have it rejected.” And he said: “Whoever does any action that is not part of this matter of ours will have it rejected.”
With regard to the celebrations that are held on some nights of Ramadaan, we know of no basis for that. The best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad ﷺ and the worst of matters are those which are innovated.
