 *Pick your Cash*

بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

Let's say you have a shop. You open it every day. You sell good things. You are a good shopkeeper. But you always close your shop right before your richest customer arrives. This customer wants to give you huge amount of Diamond & Gold, but you are never there.

This is what happens when we sleep throughout the night without establishing Tahajjud.

My People,

You might be a good Muslim in every way. But if you are not praying Tahajjud CONSISTENTLY, then, you are like that shopkeeper😃. Yes. You are missing your richest Customer. You are losing something very huge.

In fact,

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “What an excellent man

Abdullah is! If only he could be performing optional prayers at night.” Salim said that after this, (his father) 

Abdullah slept very little at night." 📚 Al-Bukhari and Muslim

Dearest one,

You pray your five obligatory prayers. You believe in Allah. You are trying your best in obedience to Allah (swt). This is beautiful.

But there is a special door opened in the middle of the night. Behind this door is a room filled with peace, power, and a closeness to Allah that is hard to find anywhere else.

The key to this door is Tahajjud.

Why?

Because Allah (swt) says that in the last part of the night, HE comes close to the earth and asks:

"Who is calling Me, so I can answer them? Who is asking Me, so I can give them? Who needs forgiveness, so I can forgive them?" 📚 Authentic hadith

The prophet (pbuh) said:

“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😃.

Remember,

The Prophet (pbuh) said: “The best of all nawafil prayers is prayer in the depths of the night.” 📚(Muslim)

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.

Lest I forget,

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.

Take it the way you can maintain for a long time without missing. At least, 2 raka'ats everyday and go back to catch up with your sleep. Just make it consistent.
