An Essential Guide To Tahajjud - Birmingham

Our Prophet (PBUH) said: “During the night there is a time when the Muslim does not ask for the good of this world and the Hereafter but it will be given to him, and that happens every night.”

Tahajjud, also known as Qiyam-Ul-Layl (The Night Prayer) is a non-obligatory prayer, gifted to those who sacrifice their sleep and stand in the middle of the night, in the depths of the darkness, to ask Allah (SWT) for whatever their heart desires.

Allah (SWT) descends every night to the lowest heaven and says to His servants, “Who will call upon Me, that I may answer Him? Who will ask of Me, that I may give him? Who will seek My forgiveness that I may forgive him?’” (Bukhari, Muslim).

Some of us may be looking to get married but are struggling or trying to find that perfect job. We may be facing issues on a day-to-day basis that disturb our minds and unsettle our hearts that we very much want Him to alleviate for us.

It was narrated by Imam Shafee that "The dua made at Tahajjud is like an arrow which does not miss its target. (Bukhari).

There are many benefits that come from performing The Night Prayer we should ALL take advantage of to bring peace and prosperity into our lives, and the best way of performing Tahajjud is the Prophetic way. It is also essential that we establish a routine to provide structure and regularly implement the prayer into our lives.
