Who is Abu Yazid?

 *Who is Abu Yazid?*

---------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Abu Yazid al Busṭami was a young child when he woke and saw his father praying. He asked him to teach him how to wash and pray with him, and his father said, *“But you are still young,”* to which he (the young boy) responded, *“When the day of judgment comes, I will say I asked you to teach me but you refused.”* So, his father immediately taught him, and he began a lifelong habit of tahajjud and never missed a night without Tahajjud.

My people!

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.

Interestingly,

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: S‌ah‌i‌h‌ al-B‌ukhari 1094, S‌ah‌ih 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!

*Share to remind others*
