*I Congratulate U*
------------------بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم
A private door opens between you and Allah (swt) when the world is dark. No one else is invited. Just you & you alone. This is Tahajjud.
Congratulations!!!
Yes, congratulations. If you have already made Tahajjud a habit.
But do you know what you are doing?
(1) You are praying the best prayer after the five daily prayers. Yes. The Prophet (pbuh) himself said so. [📚Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasa’i, Ibn Majah]
(2) You are following the path of the greatest people who ever lived.
(3) You are cleaning your heart.
(4) You are building a shield around your life.
So,
Do not stop. Never stop. You are not just praying. You are collecting treasures in the dark that will light up your grave and your Judgment Day. Hold on to it like your life depends on it. Because your life actually depends on it.
Now,
If you do NOT pray Tahajjud EVERYDAY or at all, then, sorry!
Yes, sorry!
Because a man said to Ibn Mas'ud: "I cannot pray at night even if I planned to do so."
Ibn Mas'ud did not say "you are tired." He did not say "maybe tomorrow."
Ibn Mas'ud looked at him and said the raw, frightening truth:
*"Your sins have prevented you."*📚Ibn Mas'ud
My People,
Let these words shake you if you have not make Tahajjud a habit.
Yes!
Your own mistakes, your so-called little disobedience, have chained you to your bed.
Think about that.
It means your connection is getting weak.
Do not think, "I will start doing it CONSISTENTLY later in life." Later may never come. This is your chance. Every night you sleep through Tahajjud is a missed chance. A chance for forgiveness. A chance for help. A chance to talk to Allah.
Angels carry the attendance register every night. Never miss even for one night. Do it until the end of your life.
Now,
*A Direct Word to Our Sisters:*
Your monthly cycle is not a punishment. It is a law Allah (swt) wrote for the daughters of Prophet Adam (A.S). You are not cut out of the goodies because of your monthly circle. Yes.
When the Tahajjud time comes, wake up. Sit on your bed or prayer mat. You can do these simple things. Use few minutes (minimum of 10-20minutes):
(1) Ask for forgiveness. Say Astaghfirullah.
!2) Remember Allah. Say SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar.
(3) Send countless salutations to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
!4) Talk to Allah (swt). Ask Him for everything you want.
You can make wudu if you like, or just sit clean. Then go back to sleep. Yes. You will get all the same rewards. Because you woke up for Him. Allah (swt) is fair and kind.
My People,
The person who prays Tahajjud CONSISTENTLY is building a fortress around their faith. The persons who TOYS with praying Tahajjud CONSISTENTLY or ignores it COMPLETELY are leaving their....😷
Choose wisely.
I want to use this medium to remind you to set your phone alarm right now (if you have not done so). Set it for the same time every night. Set it to "repeat" every day, forever.
Your bed will be there when you come back. But this special night time? Once it's gone, you can't get it back.
Take it the way you can maintain for a long time without missing. At least, 2 raka'ats every blessed night and go back to catch up with your sleep. Just make it consistent. In less than 20 minutes or so, you are done.
