Any Salah that is offered after Isha prayer and before Fajr is classified as part of the night prayer. There are different kinds of night prayers in Islam as we have taraweeh, witr Salah, and Tahajjud salah. In this article we will learn how to perfect Tahajjud and the rewards associated for the Muslim who prays it.

What is tahajjud?

The literal meaning of Tahajjud is giving up of sleep. This prayer is voluntary (nafl salah) meaning it is not an obligation, missing it will not be considered as a sin on the believer.

Benefits and Power of praying tahajjud salah

In the sahih hadith of Sunan Abu Dawud, Rasulullah (ﷺ) had mentioned the first action which a man shall be called into account on the day of resurrection will be his salah. If it is sound, he will attain salvation, if it is defective, he will surely be disappointed and among the losers. If anything is missing from the fardh salah, Allah will say, look if there are any Nafl salah (voluntary prayer) in the account of my servant. Whatever is lacking in his obligatory salah can be be made up by them.

ALLAH IS LISTENING CLOSELY AT THIS TIME:
Allah the exalted has said, no slave of mine can seek nearness to me with anything more worthy than what I made obligatory unto him. My salve then continues to seek my nearness with extra Nafl salat until I start loving him. When I love him, I become his ears with which he hears, his eyes with which he sees, his hands with which he holds and his legs with which he walks and if he prays for something, I grant it to him, and if he seeks my protection, I give it to him.

In Sahih Bukhari, during the time of tahajjud Allah is seeking out, is there anyone asking who wants to ask me for any of their needs for I am here to assist them and fulfill those needs of yours.

Subhanallah.
