SubhanAllah, I told myself the same when I started watching these series. Ma Shaa Allah. May Allah accept it and enable us all.

[@linagartner1987]

I love even without knowing her ❤️😅 she is so sympathic

[@nextupafrica9897]

Beautiful explanation. I just started praying Tahajjud 2 weeks ago and I can definitively say that I am not the same person. I work in the day longing for the night so I can pray Tahajjud. May Allah grants us his mercy

[@aichaaicgq4650]

Same here. I look forward to waking uo. I have more energy and most of all. I feel close to Allah. May Allah help us to be steadfast on tahajjud and our 5 daily obligatory prayers..ameen

Ameen

[@rubberducky6683]

Have a question here! So basically , we pray witr after tahajjud ??? I didn't understand. we want to pray tahajjud so it mean pray witr after tahajud??? Like for example, if i decided to pray tahajjud at middle of night after sleeping but i am not sure if i will wake up or not, should i pray isha witr before sleep??? But my not isha won't be valid in case i didn't able to wake up for tajjud and also missed witr!!!! I am just asking because i am comfused whether we pray witr of isha aftertajjud sunnah or those witr are of tahajjud. Thank you!

[@SparklesofHumility]

*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

[@masumtube1]

Just for my clarifications: Tahajjud is nafl right? I mean the niyah will be like nafl salah?

[@SparklesofHumility]

@@masumtube1 Yes brother it is nafl. Niyyah for tahajjud prayer is made as follows: “I intend to perform tahajjud prayer for Allah’s sake."

[@ПарвинаБобохонова-л7ш]

This woman is amazing! She motivats me a lot.

[@hannatuzakari2656]

Yes.Masha Allah

[@hala5151]

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) 🤍🙏

[@jhumur]

Subhanallah how can someone speak so beautifully, I feel like doing tahajjud at the middle of the Day right now!!! May Allah SWT bless everyone behind this beautiful series

I was praying Isha and this video started playing by itself, i didn’t touch anything!! Subhanallah🥺💚

[@bintzubeida9207]

You made me cry when you said prepare your meeting place, I felt that. We can do that for people but not for our Rabb .

[@_goc]

6:28 Two raka'at of just surah baqarah, SubganAllah that's inspirational. Imagine being a hafidh-ul-Quran and you can recite juz by juz from MEMORY. Allahu Akbar. May Allah allow us all to reach this, ameen. 6:34 For those interested these are called 'nafl' prayers♡♡ This is some ADVANCED islamic advice, SubganAllah

[@anj1134]

Alhamdulilah.Thanks to you Dr. Tamara for reminding us of the beauty and the importance of Tahajjud, i have been regular about it. Keep reminding myself the ayat from surah Muzammil. 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 ❤

[@aminaisse584]

Mshllah jazakumullah khyr . May allah help us making tahajjud a daily habit ❤❤

Salaam, Sister: you’re a living inspiration to me. I like the way you advise us to look forward to performing the Tajahud prayer. 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.
