TAHAJJUD [Night Prayer]
Establishing the night prayer (tahajjud) provides great spiritual and physical strength. Night prayer leaves a deep impression on the soul as it requires a person to fight his nafs and Shayṭān. When Allah ﷻ wanted to prepare the Prophet ﷺ for his weighty message, He chose for him night worship.
Allah says,
يـٰٓأَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ . قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا . نِّصْفَهُ أَوِ انقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا . أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا . إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا . إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ اللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئًا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا .
“O you wrapped up (in your clothes)! Stand at night (in prayer) except a little — half (the night), or a little less, or a little more—and recite the Qur’ān slowly and distinctly. We will soon send down to you a weighty revelation. Indeed, worship in the night is more impactful and suitable for recitation” (73:1-6).

What is yours is coming. In’Sha’Allah
