How To Perform The Tahajjud Prayer (The Night Prayer)

Hammad Khan28 Sep, 2020Education

Allah said in a lengthy hadith (25), from the 40 Hadith Qudsi’ (Prophetic summary of Allah’s words), that His slave gets closer to him by performing voluntary acts of worship in order to earn Allah’s love. This illustrates how the most coveted love of our Adoring Lord can be gained. After fulfilling Fardh (obligatory) acts like fasts, salah, etc. a slave indeed draws closer to Allah through Nafl (voluntary) ones, such as Tahajjud/Qiyam al-Layl (Night Prayer). Allah’s love being man’s most sought-after possession. The Prophet (PBUH) would especially increase his recitation in the Night Prayers until his feet were swollen. He mentioned doing so, to be undeniably Allah’s grateful slave.
