Tahajjud: A Treasured Gift

Tahajjud: A Treasured Gift

Praying Tahajjud holds immense spiritual weight and was a practice especially emphasized for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Allah commanded him in the Quran:

“And rise from your sleep during the night, as an extra offering for you; it is expected that your Lord will raise you to a praised station.” (Quran, Al-Isra 17:79)

This ayah shows that Tahajjud was not just a personal devotion but a means through which the Prophet ﷺ was prepared for the highest rank with Allah—the Maqam Mahmood, the Praised Station. 

For us, Tahajjud is a way to follow in his footsteps, seeking closeness to Allah in the quiet of the night. It is a time when our hearts are most sincere, our du’as most hopeful, and Allah’s mercy most accessible. It nourishes the soul, builds spiritual strength, and opens the door to intimate connection with our Creator.
