How To Perform The Tahajjud Prayer (The Night Prayer)

In a lengthy hadith (25), from the 40 Hadith-e-Qudsi’ (Prophetic summary of Allah’s words), Allah is reported to have said: “…and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him…” Illustrating how the most coveted love of our Adoring Lord, can be gained. After fulfilling Fardh (obligatory) acts like fasts, salah, etc. a slave 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. It has been noted that the Prophet (PBUH) would increase his recitation in the Night Prayers until his feet were swollen. He mentioned doing so, to be Allah’s grateful slave.

Another hadith in Abi Dawud, explains how Allah approaches the lowest heavens during the last 1/3 of every night. He then asks believers who have forsaken their beds to remember Him, “Who supplicated Me so that I may answer him? Who asks of Me so that I may give to him? Who asks My forgiveness so that I may forgive him?

How can the Tahajjud prayer benefits be demonstrated better than by the two hadith mentioned above? Namely, it’s pivotal to securing Allah’s love, accepted supplication, and abounding forgiveness. Qiyam al-Layl is ruled a Sunnah Mu’akkadah (confirmed Sunnah). This article aims to explain to its readers how to perform the Tahajjud prayer (The Night Prayer).
