*Don't say Goodbye*
-------------------------------بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Sufyan AthThawri was heard saying before he passed away:👉 “If you depart to the hereafter without preparing the luggage of piety, on that Day you meet those who have. And you will regret not having been like them”.
Now,
If after the end of this year month of Ramadan, you are not longer CONSISTENT in making up for midnight prayer (Tahajjud) then, there is a problem because it's expected that the month of Ramadan should be a drycleaner to our body and soul.
My people!
We should not to allow our appearances, our strength, health and youth to deceive us. Yes. That is because all of this is nothing but a mirage that one may see as water, but once he reaches it, he finds nothing.. Health will be followed by sickness, youth will be followed by old age, and strength will eventually turn into weakness.
Servants of Allah!
Worshipping Allah (swt) diligently should not only be limited some periods but throughout the year. This is evident in the saying of Allah The Almighty:
وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ
{And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (ie - death.} 📚[Quran 15:99]
And,
As a sincere muslim, we need to wake up and pay attention to the necessities bcos - Life is short even if it seems long, and happiness will end no matter how long it lasts.
This reminds me,
I have seen someone who is into *investment in midnight nawafil* for the past 10years without missing more than 3 night😳. Yes. And the amazing thing is that - this person is well educated and go to work too, he is not poor bcos people believe that only the poor worship Allah well well😀. This person, even in sickness, he has not missed more than 3 nights in 10years without waking up for tahajjud. Yes. In sickness, this person will struggle to perform tayyamum (dry ablution) and pray 2 rakaats sitting down, then go back to bed.. Allahu Akbar❗I think all of us should be Jealous of this kind of person by making tahajjud (midnight nawafil) a habit bcos 10-15minutes to be used for midnight nawafil is nothing compared to *hours* we spent during the day doing nothing.
It's good to remember that,
Tahajjud prayer is one of the greatest act of worship that our creator love we establish everyday without missing. Yes. And it's not something difficult.. Let assume you wake up by 2AM, use 3minutes to perform ablution, 2minutes to get dressed, 5minutes to establish ONLY 2rakaat nawafil, 5minutes to make Du'a to Allah.. Total time spent = 15minutes. *Everything In 15minutes,* then, go back to catch up with sleep
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!
Ending this reminder,
The Prophet (pbuh) 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
