 *My Yearly Visitor*

[[--Episode 4-of-5--]]
-------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Having pointed out that Paradise is not for the lazy, the same person - Abdallah *(My Yearly Visitor)* further mentioned to me that he is bargaining for the bigger accommodations inside Paradise (since even inside paradise, level-pass-level). He gave this as evidence:

The prophet (pbuh) said, *“Verily, in Paradise are rooms whose outside can be seen from inside and whose inside can be seen from outside.” Abu Musa said, “Who are they for, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet said, “For those who spend the night standing for the sake of Allah while people sleep.”* 📚Source: Musnad Ah‌mad 6436

Allahu Akbar!

This is the person who have spent over 10 years in Tahajjud business without missing a single night and have vowed that, if he will live in this world for another 60years, he will not want to miss a single night without waking up for midnight prayer.

My people!

Each one of us pines after an entrance to Paradise, reserved for the sincere believers in the hereafter, but, are we sincerely striving to attain our place in it?. Don't we know that there many people who have spent more years in Tahajjud (without missing a single night) than Abdallah? This goes to tell us that, it's not something difficult because people are doing it without missing. Yes. It's all about priority!

This reminds me,

This happened 6years ago.. One of my childhood friends whose father is also a friend to my father, who was critically sick and was taking to hospital for medication. The old man entered into COMA (a prolonged state of deep unconsciousness) which lasted for three (3) days.. Four (4) different qualified professional medical doctors ganged up on him, but they could not be able to get him out of coma until after the third day.

But,

Something amazing happened when he was on coma.. And this have really shocken all the doctors. Yes. This old man was unconscious and can not speak or move any part of his body. But the first day on hospital bed,, at exactly 2AM, the doctors noticed him moving his fingers & lips just like someone who is using fingers to count azkar after swalat.. He kept moving his fingers while unconscious and stopped at 3AM on the dot.. The same thing happened the second day and the third day.. So, the doctors asked his children whether they could give reasons to the cause of their father (an old man) who is unconscious, moving his tongue & fingers 2AM to 3AM the first, second and third day while unconscious.. And the reason the children gave was that - "for many years now, *2AM to 3AM* - is the time their father used to be awake for Tahajjud. Allahu Akbar!

No wonder,

The prophet (pbuh) said that "Consistency" perpetuates reward, and if an actor is prevented from completing a consistent deed due to a valid reason, he or she is rewarded as though he or she had completed the action.

Evidence:

The Prophet (pbuh) said: *“If a person becomes sick or travels, he will have the same reward as when he was healthy or not travelling”* 📚Bukhārī

Now,

*Women In Menses:*

It is permissible for a woman in menstruation and post-natal bleeding to perform all acts of ibadah during tahajjud time *(with or without ablution)* and even during the day EXCEPT *swalat and touching Quran directly (ie - without barrier)* . Yes. She can wake up during tahajjud time *(say 1AM, 2AM, 3AM, 4AM)* to make Dhikr or ask Allah anything she want and go back to catch up with her sleep.
