Tahajjud changed nothing for me for two years. Same tears. Same requests. Same sunrise with nothing shifting.
Then I read something I didn’t expect - it wasn’t about praying longer or crying harder.
Allahumma inni as’aluka that starting this month I have unlimited halal rizq in the form of wealth and good health, and a righteous spouse, without being afflicted by any misfortune.
My Hafiz teacher told me today that “ﷲ gave people different types of gifts. Some people are good at waking up for Tahajjud, some are good at charity/ helping others, some are good at memorising, etc. We gotta be thankful by doing it to the best of our abilities.” Alhamdulilah
