I started my Tahajjud habit with the intention of getting up 10minutes before Fajr...Now I wake up atleast 30min before Fajr... Alhamdulilah..I look forward to waking up for tahajjud every night when I goto sleep. May Allah make it easy for all of us to develop this beautiful habit of Tahajjud ❤🤲

[@shahee6579]

can you even pray tahajjud 10 mins before Fajr

[@anj1134]

Yes, before fajr adhan. To start from somewhere atleast ! InshaAllah aim should be atleast an hour before fajr or middle of the night if u can wake up. U can listen to the tips of mufti menk or sheikh omar about how we can encourage ourselves to start. They also gave some good advice about it.

Since from 2 years I am praying tahajjud prayer ( Qiyam fil lail). Its gives inner strength, change your thoughts in positive way. And even more most importantly sakina in your heart. The more you get closer to Allah Azwajal, more Allah put you in Test and Trials. Allah test those he loves. Just ask mercy and help from Allah only. ❤️

[@aichaaicgq4650]

Its been over 2 months now praying tahajjud. I have more energy, i gets a lot of things done. Some of my duas are accepted. And subhanallah, my daughter joined in. May Allah help us to hold tight on the night prayer till our last breath

[@sharifahm.7963]

MashaAllah, i lobe this series. I started praying tahajud a little over a month now and your series give me more strenght to do the night prayer, alhamdulliah. My heart is at eas and feel thw bond with Allah swt get stronger every night. May Allah accept our ibada and guide us to the right path, aamiin🤲🏾

[@asmasanaullaah2213]

May allah subhanawatala grant me hidaya to pray tahajjud daily ameen

[@servantbeneficent7672]

I said to Allah: I've become weak in heart and soul, everything crushes me, I need that strength I used to have... Then Allah woke me up in the middle of the night and I understood it was call for Tahajjud. Everything changed after that. I'm much stronger, alhamdulillah and all of my pain, anxiety, sorrow is gone.

[@adnanislam6496]

@servantbeneficent7672 Assalamu Alaikum bro or sis,may I ask you please does your anxiety vanish,because I have serious problems with anxiety and I drink medicine etc

[@aminaisse584]

One of the things that is very helpful and also helps me in Tahajjud is performing wuduu, before going to bed , and as the Prophet told us, that if you make wuduu, before bed that God subjugates to you an angel who will ask God for forgiveness for you throughout your sleeping and that will make you wake in a beautiful mood❤

[@SparklesofHumility]

*Benefits of a Tahajjud Habit Ep 5 summary* Studies: How Meditation affects the heart and is healthy and replenishing for the body. So wouldn't Tahajjud replenish us? So the people who pray Tahajjid would need much less sleep and would feel more energetic. Tahajjud is a Keystone habit. When you pray tahajjud, you become more organised throughout your day. This keystone habit would change your life. Start with waking up 10 min before fajr. Be patient with your body as it changes. Remember physical exhaustion is real. But spiritual exhaustion is also real. So don't procastinate when it comes to tahajjud. Sleep early, wake up early. Tahajjud is a prayer that warms the spirit. A prayer that uplifts and gives energy. A key stone habit! Go to tahajjud to find solace, and the beginning of the better life you are looking for.

[@onotualiyuohindase155]

Tahajjud is part of me. If i don't pray Tahajjud on time or miss it, i feel let down with myself. May Allah forgive us and may Allah continue to bless and guide us to the Straight Path. Ameen. Jazakum Allah Khairan ❤

[@eichermiss4196]

Dear sisters and brothers for those who are trying to wake up for tahajjud but they can't...TRY this, during daytime have a war with yourself not to sin at all and just incase you sinned coz we are humans and we are weak then when you go to sleep while on your bed ask ALLAH for forgiveness for the sins you have committed that day and ask him to enable you to wake up for tahajjud..and am telling you to won't miss it at all inshAllah.

Tahanjjud the night prayer that brings us closer to Allah. The chance to pour our hearts to the Lord of the universe. Sleep is overrated and sometimes just an escape from ourselves, an excuse not to face our own realities. May we all enjoy this unique pleasure of this night encounter with Ar Rahman.

Iv just come across this video Although im a born muslim i have only recently embraced my prayers fully I have not started praying tahajjad but i intend to. I have a lot of missed prayers to make up and am unsure where to start

[@noornisah3272]

Alhamdulillah! InshaAllah khair and ease will come your way. Start with the faraid prayers first. After you are consistent in them, start making up for your missed prayers. For example, pray qadah fajr in addition to solat ul fajr. Then pray qadah dhohr after solatul dhohr. Your missed prayers take precedence over the sunnah prayers. Just keep doing this till you have made up all. All the best💪
