TARAWEEH
The Taraweeh prayers is an innovation (bid'ah) created by the 2nd Caliph U'mar ibn al-Khattab where he created the prayer and said that the Taraweeh prayer should be performed in congregation (Jama'ah). He himself said it was an "excellent bid'ah (innovation)".
Hadith is below from Sahih Bukhari
Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 32 :: Hadith 227
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever prayed at night the whole month of Ramadan out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven." Ibn Shihab (a sub-narrator) said, "Allah's Apostle died and the people continued observing that (i.e. Nawafil offered individually, not in congregation), and it remained as it was during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr and in the early days of 'Umar's Caliphate." 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdul Qari said, "I went out in the company of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab one night in Ramadan to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man praying alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So, 'Umar said, 'In my opinion I would better collect these (people) under the leadership of one Qari (Reciter) (i.e. let them pray in congregation!)'. So, he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubai bin Ka'b. Then on another night I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part of the night."
You can offer prayers individually as a nafilah prayer for Ramadan but they are NOT to be done in congregation.
Just pray Salat-ul-Layl it is better for you and not an innovation (bid'ah).
Islam allows for no room for innovations in religion it has to be a Sunnah or nothing at all.
