*Recharge Ur Body*
-----------------بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Don't worry! Your bed will be there when you come back. Yes. But Tahajjud time? Once it's gone, you can't get it back.
In fact,
Angels carry the attendance register every night. So never miss even for one night without waking up for Tahajjud. Do it until the end of your life.
Now,
Any Nafil prayer established after ishai prayer (before you sleep) is called Qiyamul-lail.
Any Nafil prayer established when you wake up from sleep (after ishai prayer) is called Tahajjud.
The two Nafil are good but Tahajjud is more rewarding because only the determined Muslims can wake from sleep just for Allah (swt).
My People,
It is best to delay the tahajjud or late night prayer to the *last third portion of the night.*
Evidence:
Abu Hurairah (r.a.) reports that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Our Lord Descends to the lowest heaven during the *last one-third of the night* inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' 📚Related by Bukhari and Muslim
*How is the one-third Time for Tahajjud Calculated?*
The sun sets and rises at different times, it would obviously be almost impossible for us to give you one exact clock 🕑 time as the most opportune time to offer ones tahajjud prayers.
But,
Lets just say that at a particular day in the place you reside, the time between Ishai prayer and Fajr prayer is 10 hours (7:30PM to 05:30AM).
Here is how you figure the exact time using the above example:
You start off by figuring out the number of hours between {Ishai} and time of {fajr} in your area.
Let's assume Ishai is 7:30PM
Let's also assume Fajr is 5:30AM
Between Ishai and Fajr in this example is 10 hours.
The three portions of the night divided into 10 hours - 10/3 = roughly 3.5 hours
1⃣ 7:30PM Ishai time plus 3.5 hours = 10:30PM
(7:30pm to 10:30pm) is the first 1/3 of the night
2⃣ 10:30PM plus 3.5 hours = (10:30PM to 2:00AM) is the second 1/3 of the night
3⃣ *2:00AM plus 3.5 hours = (2:00AM - 4:40AM) is the last 1/3 end of the night* since the Tahajjud time ended 25 to 30 minutes before Fajr prayer time.
Therefore,
From the above *example of timing and its calculation,* the last part of 1/3 (one third) of the night is 2AM to roughly 30minutes before Fajr prayer time.
But,
If one is unable to offer his or her tahajjud prayers at this best and most opportune time for any reason, the absolute majority of the scholars and jurists in Islam are of the opinion that one can offer it at any time between the end of the isha prayers and 30minutes before the fajr prayers, they would receive their *appropriate and due reward* from their Lord for their striving.
My People,
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.
