وَمِنَ اللَّيلِ فَاسْجُدْ لَهُ وَسَبِّحْهُ لَيْلاً طَوِيلاً
And during the night, prostrate yourself to Him, and glorify Him a long night through.
[76:26]
Narrated in Al Bukhari
Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه narrated the Prophet ﷺ said _”Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: “Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?”_
[Sahih Al-Bukhari 1094, Sahih Muslim 758]
If you are seeking provision in the Dunya, as long as it is not contradicting your Deen…
Make Sujood to Allah in Tahajjud!
Make Sujood with sincerity in the dark hours of the night, where nobody except Al Baseer and As Samee’ and Al ‘Aleem can see you!
If you are seeking forgiveness,
Then remember the Ayah of Allah ﷻ
*وَ مَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُنُوبَ اِلَّا الله*
_And who will forgive all sins except Allah ﷻ_
[3:135]
Make Sujood and seek the forgiveness of Allah ﷻ!
And Allah ﷻ says
لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَّحْمَةِ الله
Don’t despair in the mercy of Allah_
[39:53]
And make Sujood and engage in worship and beg for his Rahma and forgiveness!
And the one who asks will surely be granted.
And if you feel low and down and depressed and nothing is going your way!
Call upon Allah ﷻ in the position in which you are closest to Him ﷻ!
Sujood!
As Allah ﷻ says
*اَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ*
_Surely with the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest!_
[13:28]
And who else will provide, forgive and aid you, except Allah ﷻ!
While those around you are temporary and will disappear and perish,
Allah ﷻ is eternal and ever-lasting.
And therefore the only one worthy of worship and reliance!
- And what else is the Du’a Tahajjud except the Arrow that doesn’t miss its mark?
What else is the Tahajjud except the best of voluntary prayers?
What else is the Tahajjud except your means of becoming closer to Allah ﷻ?
What else is Tahajjud except the bringer of Allah ﷻ pleasure and mercy on His slave?
