๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ A day without having prayed Tahajjud earlier
Does not seem as blessed as when you've prayed the night prayer.
Without Qiyaam Al-Layl, Fajr, and morning Dhikr,
One feels like a warrior in battle without armor,
Without a shield, without a sword, not even dagger.
~•~
They're like an unarmed fighter or defenseless soldier
Who can mostly hide or flee from potential danger,
Susceptible to being misled by some pranksters,
Prone to making mistakes which one may regret later,
And behaving improperly if one lacks Sabr.
~•~
One means to safety if you missed the late night prayer,
Alongside trusting Allah our God and Creator,
Is to say Adhkaar, pray Fajr then Duha prayer,
And strive to stay strong for Allah, just like a warrior
Can still use his fists to overthrow his contenders.
~•~
The more often you pray Tahajjud, the more rewards
You gain, and the more good deeds there are in your record,
And the more Allah loves you, the more you have Sabr,
The more your intuition is spot-on or stronger,
And things to avoid for your wellness become clearer.
~•~
While most are asleep at night or chilling with dancers,
Join the special few sincere Muslims and believers
Who pause their sleep to enjoy peace in late night prayers.
Pray Tahajjud not only so your life gets better,
But so your status in Jannah can be much higher.

๐ Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Our Rabb (Allah the Almighty) descends to the lowest heaven in the last third of every night, and He (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) says: 'Who is calling upon Me so that I may answer him? Who is asking from Me so that I may give him? Who is seeking My Forgiveness so that I may forgive him?'"

๐ Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Allah the Almighty said: 'Whoever shows hostility (enmity) to a righteous friend of Mine, I have declared war upon him. My servant does not grow closer to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the obligatory duties that I have imposed upon him. My servant continues to grow closer to Me with extra good works (nawaafil deeds like praying Tahajjud and fasting Sunnah fasts) until I love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask something from Me, I would surely give it to him. Were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant it to him. I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death and I hate to disappoint him.'"
