Staying up at night can be accompanied by worship and reflection. These activities strengthen our connection with God and bring peace to our lives.
In the Holy Quran, the significance of staying up at night and worshiping during these hours is highlighted. Allah mentions in Surah Al-Isra, verse 79: "And during a portion of the night, pray with it as additional worship for you; it is expected that your Lord will resurrect you to a praised station." This verse indicates that worship at night holds special importance and can strengthen one's soul, bringing them closer to God. To enjoy staying up at night, one can engage in reading the Quran, making supplications, and offering night prayers. Surah Adh-Dhariyat, verse 17 also states, "They used to sleep but little of the night. And in the hours before dawn, they would ask forgiveness" indicating the spirit of faithful and striving individuals. Alongside worship, the night can also be used for reflection and self-improvement. Remember that utilizing the nights should be accompanied by specific spiritual goals. Avoiding phones and electronic devices before bed can help you think and reflect better, leading to a more peaceful experience. Moreover, staying up at night with family and friends can also be genuinely enjoyable and create wonderful memories.
And during a portion of the night, pray with it as additional worship for you; it is expected that your Lord will resurrect you to a praised station.
They used to sleep but little of the night. And in the hours before dawn, they would ask forgiveness.
Once upon a time, there was a man named Nouri who loved staying up at night. Each night he would awaken for Tahajjud and night prayers, using these moments to reflect on life and enhance himself. One night, Nouri realized how these nights brought him peace and closeness to God. He decided even after these nights, he would live with a happier heart and a clearer soul.
