*Is It Not Better That U're Amongst The Reliables?*
--------------------------------
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Doing things consistently signifies you are a reliable and trustworthy person. And because, *"Consistency"* reflects commitment and sincerity, or something that only people with sincere hearts can commit their time and effort to doing.
Servants Of Allah!
The Prophet (saw) was asked about the most beloved good deed to Allāh, to which he replied, *أَدْوَمُهُ وَإِنْ قَلَّ* (meaning that, a deed which is most regular and constant even if it is little in amount)” 📚[Muslim].
From the above,
The Prophet didn't mention the "size" of those deeds to emphasise that Allah (swt) loves good deeds regardless of their size and quantity. And, He (Allah) clearly loves the good deeds that are done continuously. This is because, *Doing good deeds continuously makes you a reliable & Trustworthy person*. After all, raindrops make an ocean and one raindrop creates a ripple effect.
So,
Never belittle a good deed even if it seems insignificant to you. To Allah (swt) it could be worth more than everything in this world and it could be the very thing that saves a person from Hellfire
*S L E E P I N G:*
If it comes to sleeping from *9PM to 5AM*, Wallahi Tallahi everybody desire, enjoys or love to squander ALL the hours of the night for sleep.. But guess what❓Allah (swt) said:
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ
"As for him who feared to stand before his Lord and he restrained himself from his desires, then Paradise will be his refuge". 📚 Surah An-Naziat 79:40
Furthermore,
The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
الْمُجَاهِدُ مَنْ جَاهَدَ نَفْسَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
"The one who strives in the way of Allah the Exalted is he who strives against his desires or soul". 📚Source: Musnad Ahmad 23445
For this reason,
Sacrificing a minimum of 15minutes everyday (consistently) establishing Tahajjud is undoubtedly beneficial & rewarding because, one of the most virtuous of the nawafil acts of worship is waking up in the middle of the night for Tahajjud prayer.
Evidence:
Abu Hurayrah narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said: *"The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer."* 📚(Muslim)
And,
Tahajjud time is also a special time when the doors of mercy are thrown open and the angels are dispersed, seeking out those in need of their Lord.
Evidence:
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, (saw) said, “Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven in the last third of every night, and he says: *"Who is calling upon me that I may answer him? Who is asking from me that I may give him? Who is seeking my forgiveness that I may forgive him?”* 📚Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-B̄ukhari 1094, Ṣaḥih Muslim 758
Therefore,
If u have not yet set ur phone alarm in a repeating mode, to wake u up for midnight nawafil *(Tahajjud)* everyday till the end of ur life, pls do so immediately.. Yes.. It's not difficult bcos people are doing it everyday without missing.. It's all about priority!
I also advice that u start with 2 rakaats every night and be consistent on it. Yes. *(it can't take u more than 15minutes)*. And If u like, u can increase on this, any day u wake up and u feel extra strength.
*Tahajjud Time Ends When?*
It depends on ur location.. Immediately after Ishaai prayer, Tahajjud time begins & end 20minutes b4 fajr time.. But it's preferred to delay Tahajjud (sleep small, then, wake up for Tahajjud).
Finally,
Establishing good deeds like Tahajjud consistently makes you a reliable & Trustworthy person before Allah (swt)
And,
The Prophet (saw) said: *“O Abdullah, do not be like so and so! He used to pray at night and then he stopped doing that”*(📚Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Allah alone knows best
