Arabic term or phrase: التراويح والاختام القرآنية
Activities carried out during Ramadan nights. I know that Taraweeh are prayers said after Salat Al-isha, but is there an English term? Also, is "akhtam qura'niya" the act of completing the reading of the whole Koran during the month of Ramadan, as in "Khatm al_Qura'an"?

Tarawih Prayers & Koran recitation conclusion
Explanation:
Tarawih should be transliterated as it is a missing concept in Western Culture, a footnote or rather Explanation should be added to indicate that they are a form of extra prayers performed in Rmadan following Evening prayers. As for Koranic recitation conclusion, I believe that it would be intelligible to the raeder
