Day 8 Tahajjud (Qiyamul Layl)
Tahajjud, the night prayer, is one of the greatest acts of devotion in Islam. It is a special time to seek Allah’s guidance, mercy, and forgiveness.
Allah reminds us of the power of Tahajjud in Surah Az-Zariyat (51:15-18):
"Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs, receiving what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good. They used to sleep but little of the night, and in the hours before dawn, they would seek forgiveness."
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also said:
"Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven in the last third of every night and says: ‘Who is calling upon Me, so I may answer him? Who is asking of Me, so I may give him? Who is seeking My forgiveness, so I may forgive him?’" – (Sahih al-Bukhari 1145, Muslim 758)
As you prepare for another day of fasting, make room for Tahajjud on Day 8.
How to observe Tahajjud:
The best time for Tahajjud is in the last third of the night before Suhoor.
You can pray at least two rakats and up to 12 rakats, including Witr.
After completing your rakats, make personal duas, be sincere, humble, and ask for anything your heart desires.
May Allah bless us with the strength to stand in prayer and seek His mercy during the blessed nights of Ramadan. Ameen.
