One of the midnight prayers is Tahajjud performed by Muslims after sleeping. The period of this prayer is in between the Isha and Fajr prayers. It is considered as one of the most prestigious and possibly answered prayers because you leave your sleep to worship Allah.
Get up in the middle of the night and pray to Allah. Pray for all of these things, and also ask Allah to forgive you for all of your mistakes which you did intentionally or unintentionally. The prayer you make in Tahajjud has a special appearance in Allah’s world. One of the most faithful servants of Allah offers this prayer because they know the benefit and ajar of this prayer. The Holy Book Quran contains many verses in which the benefit and status of Tahajjud prayer are written.
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)
Hazrat AbuUmama Al-Bahili (R.A) reports that our beloved Prophet (S.A.W) said, “Hold fast to night prayer, for it was the way of the righteous people before you, a way of getting closer to Allah (S.W.T), a redemption for bad deeds, and a cover from sin.”
Those worshippers who hardly get up for Tahajjud prayer should set an alarm, eat less before night’s sleep also be reminded of the rewards of this prayer. It has been said that this prayer cures depression and anxiety also it brings closer to Allah and Allah shows his mercy towards the one who offers Tahajjud prayer.
