Day 21 Tahajjud (Qiyamul Layl)
Tahajjud is a prayer of the night that brings immense blessings and peace to the heart. It is a time when Allah’s mercy descends, and our supplications are answered.
Allah promises His closeness to those who rise for prayer in the night in Surah Al-Isra (17:79):
"And rise from sleep for prayer in the night, as an additional prayer for you; it may be that your Lord will raise you to a praiseworthy position."
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
"The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer (Tahajjud)." – (Sahih Muslim 1163)
As you prepare for another day of fasting, make room for Tahajjud on Day 21 and experience the tranquility that comes from seeking Allah’s mercy in the stillness of the night.
How to perform Tahajjud
The best time for Tahajjud is in the last third of the night, before Suhoor.
You can pray a minimum of two rakats, but you are encouraged to offer up to 12 rakats, including Witr.
After completing your rakats, make personal duas, asking Allah for peace, guidance, and protection from all harm.
May Allah grant us the strength to rise for Tahajjud and bless us with His mercy, peace, and tranquility during this blessed month. Ameen.
