Tahajjud unlock paradise on earth _ Nouman Ali Khan _ Taqwa and Tawakkul

Tahajjud prayer, also known as the "Night Prayer," is an optional and voluntary prayer performed by Muslims during the late hours of the night or the pre-dawn hours (the last one-third of the night) before the obligatory Fajr (dawn) prayer. It is a highly recommended form of worship in Islam and is considered a means of seeking closeness to Allah, seeking forgiveness, and making personal supplications.

Key points about Tahajjud prayer:

Voluntary Prayer: Tahajjud is not obligatory but is highly recommended. Muslims can choose to perform it whenever they wish, but it is often performed as an extra act of devotion.

Number of Rak'ahs: The number of rak'ahs (units of prayer) in Tahajjud is not fixed, but it is typically performed in sets of two rak'ahs. You can pray as many sets as you like, even numbers, and you can conclude with a single rak'ah called the Witr prayer.

Recitation and Supplication: During Tahajjud, Muslims recite verses from the Quran and engage in personal supplications. It is a time for intimate and sincere communication with Allah.

Time of Prayer: Tahajjud is performed during the last one-third of the night. This means it can vary in timing depending on the season and geographical location. Muslims often set an alarm to wake up for Tahajjud, or they may pray it after waking up naturally during the night.

Benefits: Muslims believe that praying Tahajjud brings numerous spiritual benefits, including increased closeness to Allah, the opportunity to seek forgiveness for sins, and the ability to ask for guidance and blessings.

Tradition: Tahajjud prayer is a practice encouraged by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who frequently prayed it and emphasized its significance to his followers.

Method: While there is no fixed method for Tahajjud, it typically follows the same format as other Islamic prayers, involving recitation of Quranic verses and specific supplications. The number of rak'ahs and specific verses or supplications used may vary among individuals.

Tahajjud is considered a special time for reflection, devotion, and seeking Allah's blessings and guidance. It's a personal act of worship and can be a source of great spiritual fulfillment for those who choose to perform it.
