Benefits of Tahajjud
There are many benefits that a person can receive from the prayer of Tahajjud. The prayer can make you healthier, prevent you from committing sins, and erase your mistakes. It can also get you a commendable place in the sight of Allah SWT and give you a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.
How to Pray Tahajjud
It is important to establish the habit of praying tahajjud as part of your daily routine. Start with two rak'ahs and then increase the number of rak'ahs you pray each night until you reach the optimal amount as per the sunnah.
When you begin to perform the prayer, it is important to make sure that your intention is genuine. If you find yourself falling asleep or unable to keep up with the recitation, it is best to go back to bed and complete the prayer at a later time.
The ahadith mention that people who are able to wake up for this prayer will have their deed recorded in the Book of Allah SWT and will be granted a place in paradise, if they do not have any other record of good deeds.
In addition, tahajjud is believed to be the most virtuous of all Nafl prayers and will bring you closer to the Almighty and fill your life with peace and brightness. It is a great way to strengthen your faith and make your nighttime prayers more meaningful. Performing tahajjud regularly will also help you stay on the right path and remain in the company of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
