*Your Commitment*
------------------بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم
In the sight of Allah (swt), the most beloved deeds are not always the magnificent in size, but the most consistent. As the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught us, “Take up good deeds only as much as you are able, for the best deeds are those done regularly even if they are few.” 📚(Sunan Ibn Mājah 4240)
My People,
Consider this: The believer who, for three years, wakes every night to pray just 2 rak'ahs of Tahajjud has built a fortress of faith. Contrast this with one who prays 6 rak'ahs every night for a month, only to then stop completely. The first, through unwavering consistency, has built a habit that pleases Allah far more.
Muslim Faithful,
The Prophet (pbuh) personally warned us against the danger of starting and then abandoning this precious worship, saying: “O `Abdullah, do not be like so and so! He used to pray at night and then he stopped.” 📚(Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
Let us not be among those who start Tahajjud with good zeal, only to let their connection fade simply because, angels do not descend (every night) with briefcases of Naira and Dollars for people of Tahajjud. Yes. If the reward for Tahajjud was a daily deposit of Naira, Dollars or any currency into our accounts, the midnight hours would be the most bustling time for Muslims. In fact, we would compete for "overtime".😃
My People,
Tahajjud is one of the most cherished acts of worship a believer can offer on regular basis. Yes. And the beautiful news is that it is within everyone's grasp (You & I).
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.
You see!
In a mere quarter of an hour, you can earn a pleasure and proximity to Allah (swt) that transcends this world. Yes. The Prophet (pbuh) confirmed this - that “The best of all nawafil prayers is prayer in the depths of the night.” 📚(Muslim)
Furthermore,
This prayer is not just an extra—it is a divine safety net. Yes. On the Day of Judgment, where our obligatory prayers may have shortcomings, our consistent midnight nawafil prayers will be used to complete them. 📚(Sunan al-Tirmidhī 413).
By implication,
Your success, my success in the Hereafter is secured by our consistent midnight prayer, since it's the most rewarding of all the voluntary prayers.
Servants of Allah!
Imagine the angels, tasked with recording the names of the righteous, writing your name down each night you wake up for Tahajjud!. These angels document those who conquer their desire for sleep to stand before the King of Kings. And this "Roll Call" is every night.
Now,
The question is: Will your name be on that list every blessed night?
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.
