    *Summary: How to pray tahajjud*
    Qiyam al layl: Praying before sleep
    Tahajjud: Pray after waking from sleep
    How to pray:
    Simple: Just make niyyah (intention) for 2 rakahs of Qiyam al layl or Tahajjud (which you pray) and then pray 2 rakahs.
    For Tahajjud (basic) you can wake up even 15 minutes before fajr, pray 2 rakahs for tahajjud and then wait for the Fajr prayer, and then pray.
    The prophet (saw) would pray 8 rakahs (2+2+2+2) of tahajjud plus 3 rakahs of witr.
    (Long and extended)
    Always start step by step.
    First, start with 2 rakahs then 4 then 8, and then witr.
    A most common problem that we face: Missed fard prayers.
    You can make up for the missed fard prayers at night.
    Recite the Qur'an at night.
    (Those are the most beautiful moments of tranquility)
    The prayer of the Prophet (saw):
    His standing was equal in time to his ruku', which was equal in time to his sujood.
    (Ash Shama'il Al Muhammadiyah 274)
    A quick tip: Make tahajjud interesting for yourself.
    The prayer at night is a time when you can develop a strong relationship with Allah SWT
    A quick tip: Set up your prayer place comfortable for yourself.
    Remember it's a very special meeting with Allah SWT...So make yourself comfortable.
    And lastly, make lots and lots of duas for you, your beloved ones, and this Ummah.
    JazakAllah Khair!
    Salaam

    When feeling like Salat is becoming a burden for you, take a step back, and remind yourself that Allah (SW) has created us for the purpose of worshipping him. The same force thats nagging you away from praying, force it with a willpower that’s manifesting to get closer to Allah (SW) 🤍🙏

It's a different flow of energy during those hours subhanAllah. Even outside the religious context those hours are regarded very powerful to awaken our mind and to self-discipline. The hours of stillness and silence to reflect on ourselves n our connection with Allah swt ❤

All the elegant things you suggest In terms of getting the prayer area ready-the perfume, etc.-certainly make it a more exciting experience. Let’s say you’ve just succeeded in convincing me to make it super-enjoyable. For me, it always was. I don’t know why I became so excited listening to you, but I can promise you InshaAllah, I’m gonna take your advice and really “get into it” so to speak. I also want you to know that your valuable time is highly appreciated. May Allah reward you generously and inspire you to share more of your views with us. Jazak Allah Kheiran.
