As we continue to seek closeness to Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ through Tahajjud, let us enrich our nightly prayers with the profound supplications of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Here is a beautiful supplication narrated by Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه:
Narrated Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه:
"Whenever the Prophet ﷺ offered his Tahajjud prayer, he would say:
'O Allah, our Lord! All the praises are for You; You are the Keeper (Establisher or the One Who looks after) of the Heavens and the Earth. All the Praises are for You; You are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is therein. You are the Truth, and Your saying is the Truth, and Your promise is the Truth, and the meeting with You is the Truth, and Paradise is the Truth, and the (Hell) Fire is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender myself to You, and believe in You, and I put my trust in You (solely depend upon). And to You I complain of my opponents and with Your Evidence I argue. So please forgive the sins which I have done in the past or I will do in the future, and also those (sins) which I did in secret or in public, and that which You know better than I. None has the right to be worshipped but You.'
(Sahih Al Bukhari, Hadith Number 1120)"

Benefits from the Hadith:
1. Connection with Allah: The night prayer, especially Tahajjud, is a profound opportunity to connect with Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ. It is a time when we can engage in deep remembrance (dhikr), sincere supplication (dua), and heartfelt praise of Allah.
2. Comprehensive Supplication: This supplication encompasses a thorough acknowledgment of Allah's greatness, including His attributes and promises. It illustrates the Prophet’s ﷺ approach to begin prayers with praise and recognition of Allah’s attributes before presenting personal supplications.
3. Affirmation of Allah’s Attributes: The dua highlights the perfection and exclusivity of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ. It reaffirms His attributes, promises, and the ultimate truth of the Hereafter, demonstrating the Prophet’s ﷺ commitment to glorify Allah.
4. Ideal Method of Supplication: The hadith exemplifies the ideal manner of making supplications: starting with praise and glorification of Allah before mentioning personal needs and requests.
Incorporating this beautiful supplication into your Tahajjud prayer can deepen your spiritual connection and enhance the serenity of your night worship. May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ accept our prayers and grant us steadfastness in our nightly devotion.
