Through the blessings of Taraweeh, one’s minor sins are forgiven. Hence, Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ narrates that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ اِيْمَانًا وَّ احْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَہٗ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهٖ’, i.e. ‘Whosoever stands in Ramadan with Iman and while seeking reward, all of his previous sins will be forgiven. (Muslim, p. 298, Hadith 1779)
