Missed Opportunity

 *Missed Opportunity*

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

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

A "missed opportunity" refers to a situation where someone fails to take advantage of a chance or favorable circumstance that could have led to a positive outcome or benefit. It suggests that someone didn't seize the moment or make the most of an opportunity that was available to them.

The truth of the matter is,

The shaytan always SPOILED our obligatory prayers, and yet told us not to wake up for Tahajjud, that, "Tahajjud" is not compulsory.

My People!

We should take advantage of "golden opportunity" available for us by sacrificing at least 10-15 minutes EVERY BLESSED NIGHT to establish 2 rakaat, because *nothing that has passed of your life is in your favor except the times you spent in obedience to Allah*. Perhaps more days may pass you by, but when death comes it will be as if you were only born that minute. At that time, everything of one’s past life will mean nothing to him or her.

My People!

It's good to remember that, every last part of the night, Allah (swt) descend to the lowest heavens to rescue His slaves who were awake to ask.

Evidence:

“Every night Allah Tabaraka Wa Ta’ala descends to the heavens of the world, when it is the third of the last night. He said: *“Whoever calls me, I will allow his appeal. Whoever asks me, I allow his request. And whoever asks forgiveness of Me, I forgive him.“* 📚(Bukhari and Muslim)

Servants of Allah!

It is very true that everybody want to be successful, and the success of every believer on the day of judgement, lies on his or her obligatory swalawat.

Evidence:

*“Indeed the first deed by which a servant will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection is his Swalat. If it is complete, he or she is successful and saved, but if it is defective, he or she has failed and lost. So, if something is deficient in his or her obligatory (prayers) then Allah (swt) will say: ‘Look! Are there any voluntary (prayers) for my worshipper?’ So, with them, what was deficient in his or her obligatory (prayers) will be completed...”* 📚(Tirmizi)

But In Reality,

None of our obligatory Swalawat is FREE of distractions from the same shaytan who whisper to people that *"it is not compulsory to wake up for Tahajjud"* as such, people should continue sleeping😃

So,

On the day of judgement, it's the voluntary nawafil Allah (swt) will use to FILL IN THE MISSING GAPS created in our obligatory swalawat.

But,

*“The best of all nafil prayer (ie - prayers after obligatory swalah) is prayer in the depths of the night,..”* 📚[Muslim]

What does this mean?

The above Hadith is a clear testimony that Tahajjud is the most desirable form of all voluntary prayers and that is why Allah calls such people His successful & loyal servants.

Therefore,

If u have not yet set ur phone alarm in a repeating mode, to wake u up for midnight nawafil (at least 2 rakaats) everyday till the end of ur life, pls do so immediately. Yes. Allah (swt) loves consistency in any act of worship.
