Benefits of tahajjut prayer ||  BY Mufti Menk

Amr ibn 'Absah reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The closest that the Lord is to his slave is in the later part of the night, so if you can be one of those who remember Allaah  at that time, then do so. "(Reported by al-Tirmidhi and al-Nisaa'i).


every night allah subhanahu wata'ala descends to the lowest heavens and he calls out calling out saying what does he say he says who is there seeking forgiveness at the time when the third of the night remains who is there seeking forgiveness so I can forgive who  is there repenting so I can accept who is there asking me any of their needs so that I can give if you look carefully at that hadith there is no precondition of having fulfilled a jewel or having read Salah it's an open invitation from Allah to say you  want to seek forgiveness here I am you to repent here I am you want to ask me anything here I am I know of people who set their clocks for the time of the head you'd even give even if subhanAllah they've fulfilled  that they had Jude but they will get up and call out to Allah feeling the presence that you know what I think this call is from Allah a demon there is no doubt that Allah is calling imagine when you get up and you can actually look at the  time and say well Al  lah is cooling is calling me oh Allah I am the one I'm seeking oh allah me i want forgiveness o allah forgive me I have a need I'm calling out to you I know that you're here to answer me  call out to Allah he will give you what you want if it is Tova and instead of our he will forgive you if it is anything else he will grant it to you and he knows it's the right time he will give you what he knows is better  for you subhanAllah so this is the time of the Hodja that is the most blessed time of the night it's the early hours of the morning we call it right this last part of the night is the time of the hatchet its splendor its goodness its greatness  meaning the value of that night is not based on the tahajud but it's the night itself the fact that Allah is calling out and a lot descends to the lowest heaven so now you need to know something we will call out to Allah but we will also engage  in a bada about the meaning acts of worship call out to Allah I need to thank Allah praise
