The tahajjud prayer is not compulsory, but Muslims try to make tahajjud a part of their daily routine. It is one of the excellent worship to ask for forgiveness from Allah (S.W.T). The night prayer is much higher ranking because the night is a time when you take rest after a tiring day, and you are away from all form of distractions. Tahajjud is harder on lower self as after a busy day, when you give up sleep to seek Allah’s rewards, Allah (S.W.T) is the most merciful. The night is a time when doors of mercy are opened, prayers are answered and desires of those who ask are fulfilled.
7 – TAHAJJUD PRAYER IN THE QURAN:
Many verses in the Quran mention the tahajjud prayer, its reward, benefits, and blessings.
Allah (S.W.T) in the Quran says, “They abandon their beds to cry unto their Lord in fear and hope, and spend of what We have bestowed on them. No soul knows what is kept hidden from them of joy, as a reward for what they used to do”. (32: 16-17)
In these beautiful verses, Allah (S.W.T) praised the ones who leave their beds and wake up at night in remembrance of Allah to seek forgiveness and mercy. No one knows about the rewards that Allah has hidden for them.
In another verse of the Quran, Allah (S.W.T) says, “The (loyal) servants of the Merciful are those who walk on the earth modestly, and when the foolish one addresses them, they answer Peace, And who spend the night before their Lord, prostrate and standing”. (25: 63-64)
Allah (S.W.T) in this verse points out the faithful servants of Him. Those who act modestly, prevail peace and stand in prostration at night are the ones who are nearer to Allah.
“Those who pray for forgiveness in the moments of the night”. (3: 17)
Allah (S.W.T) has great rewards for those who please Him out of hope and mercy.
“And from [part of] the night, pray with it as extra[worship] for you; it is anticipated that your Lord will revive you to a praised position.” (Quran, 17: 79)
On the day of Judgement, Allah Almighty will resurrect those in an applaud position who spend a part of their night in worshipping Him.
