Wake Up for Tahajjud.

[Abu Hafsat]

As-Salaam alaikum,

 After the obligatory prayers, Tahajjud ( the voluntary night prayers of 2, 4, 6 or 8 raka'a) is the best prayer to come closer to Allah Ta'ala and, thereby, improve our spiritual health. And the best time  to pray Tahajjud is at the last part of the night. The blessings of this prayer is pretty self-explanatory from these 2 hadith, in which the Noble Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said:--

 

   "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night.

  If you can be among those remember Allah, the Exalted one, at that time, then do so."  (Tirmidhi)

 

  "Observe the night prayer; it was the practice of the righteous before you, and it brings you closer

   to your Lord, and it is penance for evil deeds and erases the sins and repels disease from the body." (Tirmidhi)
