Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an in Order in the Tarawih Prayer

Question:
If I am the imam in the tarawih prayer, is it obligatory for me to recite verses that follow the previous ones each night—that is, to recite the surahs of the Qur'an in order—or may I recite from the verses I read during the day?

Answer:
It is prescribed for the imams to have the ma'mumun hear the entire Qur'an in the standing prayer of Ramadan, if they are able to do so. The imam should recite the verses and surahs that follow what he recited the previous night, so that the worshippers behind him hear the entire Book of their Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He, in sequence, as arranged in the mushaf.
If he is able to complete the recitation with them, that is better, provided it does not burden them, while paying attention to recitation with proper pacing, humility, and tranquility. This is because the purpose of the prayer is to draw near to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and to be humble before Him, desiring the reward He has and fearing the punishment He holds. The purpose is not merely to perform rak'ahs without humility or presence of heart before Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). May Allah guide the Muslims to what brings them well-being and salvation in this world and the Hereafter.
