*If Dirt Covers U*
------------------بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم
We spend our lives chasing comfort. We invest in homes, build relationships, and seek security, all in an attempt to insulate ourselves from the hardships of this world. Yet, there is one journey we will all take alone—a journey into a realm of silence and darkness that our worldly assets cannot penetrate. This is the life in the grave.
It is for this very moment that the gift of Tahajjud was given.
Ibn Rajab said:
“How many people who stood in prayer at night will rejoice due to their night prayers, in the darkness of their graves; and how many people who slept through the night will regret their long sleep.”
Read the above wise saying again. Let it sink in.
Muslim Faithful,
While others are drowning in the regret of wasted nights and surrendered midnight hours, the one who prayed Tahajjud CONSISTENTLY will be enveloped in a honor bestowed directly by Allah (swt). That honor is not a future promise; it is a light you build now, deposit by deposit (on daily basis), in the silent vault of the night.
Remember,
Every time you pray Tahajjud, you are not just making du'a. You are building your eternal home (that's your grave). You are sending light ahead of you, into a place where the sun does not rise (that's your grave).
Abū al-Dardā (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) delivered the ultimate, spine-tingling formula with chilling simplicity:
“Pray two rakʿahs in the darkness of the night for the darkness of the grave.”
This is the ultimate investment strategy. Yes. You are using the shadow of the night to purchase an everlasting light in your grave.
My People,
Making Tahajjud a habit is not a struggle. This is a construction project.
When you wake up while many are asleep, you are not just waking up; you are an architect, building a palace of light for your soul to inhabit in the grave. You are not just reciting Qur'an; you are programming the very energy that will soothe you when the dirt covers you😢. You are not just making sujood; you are imprinting your forehead with a mark that radiates in the darkness, a mark that says, "I knew my Lord, and I came to Him when the world was asleep."
Servants of Allah!
Do not let the ANY passing hours of the nights slip away in slumber that you will one day bitterly regret. Yes. The path to rejoicing in the grave is paved with prostrations made in the stillness of the night.
Make Tahajjud your non-negotiable habit. Not just for the peace of this life, but for the profound, unshakeable joy of the next life which begins immediately you are placed in your grave.
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, because:
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
