1 Tahajjud doesn't reduce your sleeping hours.

 

2 Tahajjud doesn't affect your mental health.

 

3 Tahajjud doesn't weaken your body.

 

4 Tahajjud doesn't shorten your resting time.

 

5 Tahajjud doesn't make you hypertensive.

 

 

All this are usually whispers from Shaitan to weaken your zeal to observe it, don't fall for his tricks.

 

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wassalam said:

 

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏يعقد الشيطان على قافية، رأس أحدكم، إذا هو نام، ثلاث عقد، يضرب على كل عقدة‏:‏ عليك ليل طويل فارقد، فإن استيقظ أحدكم، فذكر الله تعالى انحلت عقدة، فإن توضأ انحلت عقدة، فإن صلى انحلت عقدة، فأصبح نشيطًا طيب النفس، وإلا أصبح خبيث النفس كسلان‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏

 

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

 

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When any one of you sleeps, Satan ties three knots at the back of his neck. He recites this incantation at every knot: 'You have a long night, so sleep.' If he awakes and remembers Allah, one knot is loosened. If he performs Wudu', the (second) knot is loosened; and if he performs prayer, (all) knots are loosened. He begins his morning in a happy and refreshed mood; otherwise, he gets up in bad spirits and sluggish state."

 

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim] 📖.

 

Allah doesn't enjoin a thing that has a negative health implication on us. Allah doesn't enjoin something destructive upon us. He doesn't enjoin something except that it has many benefits we may not even know.

سنن النسائي

 

It was narrated from Abu Bishr Ja'far bin Abi Wahshiyyah that:

 

He heard Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman say: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The best prayer after the obligatory (fard) prayers is prayer at night and the best fasting after the month of Ramadan is Al-Muharram.'"

 

Sunan an - Nasai 1614 📖

 

Tahajjud (night prayer): Never underestimate the power of Tahajjud and what it entails, Tahajjud is such a powerful time. Pray to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sincerely for what your heart desires and watch Him give you something a million times better. Every loss, every hardship and every ounce of pain you have felt, you will be given something to forget it all. That's how merciful Your Lord is, that's how kind and loving He is.

 

Do not underestimate His power to give you the strength and guidance to carry your broken heart to Him at every Tahajjud prayer and ask Him to give you want you want. He is the most giving, the most caring and His love is endless.

 

Your Tahajjud duas will always come true, and if not, then Allah always gives you Something even better than what you prayed for Always.

 

May Allah make us steadfast. let our mats become our night companions.

 

May Allah grant us all Tawfiq to perform Tahajjud prayers at night. اللّهمّ آمــــــــــين يارب 🤲🏿🥀❤

 

Peace and blessings be upon our beloved Prophet and our interceder - Sayyiduna Muhammad ﷺ.
