Easy way to get the reward of Tahajjud

The word ‘tahajjud’ literally means waking up at night. And in the terminology of Islamic Shari'ah, it is called 'Tahajjud' to perform any naafil prayer from the time of Isha prayer till the time of Sadiq in the morning. These prayers are also called ‘Qiyamul-Lail’, ‘Salatul-Lail’. Many virtues of Tahajjud prayers have been mentioned in many places in the Qur'an and Hadith. Allah the Almighty, referring to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), said in the Qur'an, ‘And perform tahajjud in some part of the night as your additional duty. Hopefully, your Lord will establish you in a place of praise. '(Surah Bani Isra'il: verse 16)

It has been narrated in a hadith that Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "The best prayer after the obligatory prayer is the night prayer (tahajjud)." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1163)

Tahajjud is the best time for prayers

However, the best time for Tahajjud prayers is after waking up in the last part of the night. Allaah has revealed in the Holy Qur'aan the verse praising the one who leaves the bed for the tahajjud — ‘their side separates from the bed. They call on their Lord with fear and hope. And they spend out of what We have provided for them. '(Surat as-Sajda, Ayat: 18)

The easy way to get the reward of Tahajjud

The best time for tahajjud prayers is after waking up in the last part of the night, but after the Isha prayers, the tahajjud prayers can be offered until Sadiq in the morning, and the virtues of tahajjud are gained. Because the main time of Tahajjud prayers starts after Esha prayers, although the best time is after waking up. Many of us are being deprived of the rewards of Tahajjud because we could not get up on the last night. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), being kind to this ummah of his ummah, taught that after the Isha prayer, you should offer two or four rak'ahs of tahajjud prayers before going to bed.

It has been narrated in a hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said in the Saooban (may Allaah be pleased with him) that waking up at night is a difficult and heavy thing, so when you recite Vitr (before going to bed), perform two rak'ahs (nafl) of prayer. It is better to get up on the last night, otherwise these two rak'ahs will be the way to gain the virtue of Qiyamul Lail. '

After Esha, four rak'ats of nafl is rewarded like Shabe Qadr

In another hadith, narrated from Kab (Rah.), He said, 'Whoever performs ablution well and participates in the congregation of Esha, then after the prayer of Esha will perform four rak'ats (nafl) prayers, so that he can perform the Qur'anic prostration properly. Like thawab will be written. (Sunan Nasai, Hadith: 4955)

Apart from that, there is a famous hadith narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) where he stayed at night in the house of his aunt Umm al-Muminin Maimuna (may Allah be pleased with her) in order to witness the nightly deeds of the Prophet (peace be upon him). He also witnessed four rak'ats of naafil prayers before going to bed. (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 116)

Therefore, for those of us who are not able to get up on the last night, we should not be completely deprived and should offer two or four rak'ats of Tahajjud prayers immediately after the Asr prayers. Hopefully, Allah Ta'ala will include us in Tahajjud Gojars, InshaAllah!

There are no more Turkish scholars preaching Islam on the way to Tokyo and Berlin Sheikh Neyamatullah (R.)

 

There are no more Turkish scholars preaching Islam on the way to Tokyo and Berlin Sheikh Neyamatullah, 

A prominent Turkish scholar who preached Islam in various countries of Europe and Asia, has passed away. He spent most of his life preaching Islam around the world. He died in the Turkish capital, Istanbul, on Friday (July 30th). He was about 90 years old at the time of his death.

 

Long stay in Turkey,Saudi Arabia and Japan: Sheikh Neyamatullah was born in 1931 in Turkey. He was a wise and responsible scholar of the twentieth century. He was educated by many scholars during the reign of the last Sultan Abdul Hamid of the Ottoman Empire. He was the imam of a mosque in Medina for 15 years. He served for 15 years as the Imam of the An Nur Mosque in the Hera Desert in Jabal, Mecca. Prior to that, he was the imam and muezzin of many mosques, including the famous Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul.

 

Preaching Islam in more than 55 countries: He has visited more than 55 countries in Europe and Asia to spread Islam. He used to prepare small cards and books in the local language and always keep these books in his pocket and distribute them while standing on the street. He was a wise man to spread the message of Islam to all classes of people everywhere.

 

From the bar to the path of Islam: He used to present the beauty of Islam to people of different classes and professions in various ways. He even brought innumerable intoxicated people from liquor bars of different countries including Thailand, Austria, Germany, Korea to the courtyard of the mosque. One of the features of this Turkish scholar was that he simply explained Islam to people with a smile on his face.

 

Sending 20,000 copies of the Holy Quran to China: In 1971, with the permission of the Chinese government, more than 20,000 copies of the Holy Quran were sent to the country. Moreover, even in the lowest temperatures in different parts of Russia, including Siberia, only white jubba is followed by the call to Islam. In both the winter and summer seasons, he would invite people only in white robes.

 Shaykh Neyamatullah played a very important role in the spread of Islam in Tokyo.

 

Establishment of Islamic Center in Tokyo: Shaykh Neyamatullah stayed in Japan for 15 years. At this time he established an Islamic center for the spread of Islamic education and culture in the capital Tokyo. Thousands of people from different countries including Japan, Korea and Europe converted to Islam at his hands.

 

Head of the Islamic Center of Japan. According to Saleh Samari, Shaykh Niyatullah lived in Japan for more than 14 years. During this time he established numerous mosques and madrasas in the north-south desert. Numerous people responded to his call for 'Lailaha Illallah' and converted to Islam. He distributed hundreds of copies of small books on Islam every day. People used to come to the Islamic Center in the morning and evening to listen to him. He used to call people to Islam on the way to and from the markets, schools, colleges and educational institutions.

 

Good luck to all people: ‘At night he would call people to prayers at the Central Mosque in Tokyo. He did not have any hostile attitude towards anyone. He was engaged in the task of uniting all Muslims. He is a very dear person to everyone. He did not curse or curse anyone. Rather, he prayed for the welfare of all. He used to say in prayer, ‘O Allah, guide the enemies of Islam. Change the hatred of the enemies of Islam like Umar (ra.), Khalid (ra.), Ikrama (ra.) and accept them as allies of Islam. '

 

On the way to Islam from a Vienna pub: A man greeted Shaykh and kissed him on the forehead while he was on duty at the An Nur Mosque in Makkah. As if Shaykh has known him for a long time. The man then laughed and said, "Shaykh, I am one of the young men whom you invited to Islam at a liquor bar in Vienna, the capital of Austria." Listening to you, I repented of the change of life and prayed for you all the time.

 

Returning from a German pub: In 1989, Sheikh Neyamtullah visited a mosque in Berlin, the capital of Germany. When he asked the local Turks about the rest of the Muslims, they said, you talk to us. We will listen to you the whole time. But after repeated inquiries, the rest were told that they were in a liquor bar.

 

Shaikh went to the bar with a local. About 40 people manage it. Shaykh addressed everyone and said, ‘O Mujahideen, Assalamu Alaikum.’ Everyone looked at each other as Mujahid said. Shaykh said, "You are Mujahideen for three reasons."

 

‘The first reason: in Germany you move around with an Islamic name. Which reminds people of Islam. Second reason: You have come to Germany to support your family. This is also part of jihad. Third reason: Your ancestors Ottomans were Mujahideen. You are their successor. '

 

 

Then Shaykh said, "I have brought you good news from Medina." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever says La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah will enter Paradise.’ Then he encouraged them to return to the path of Islam and said many things from the Qur’aan and hadeeth. All 40 of them started living according to Islamic rules.

 

Three years later, Shaykh was sitting in the mosque one day. A Turkish man came to Pagri's head and asked, "Shaykh, do you know me?" He said, why not recognize. You may have been a great imam or scholar in Turkey! The man said, Shaykh, you will not know me even after a thousand years. I'm the last person at the Berlin liquor bar. Intoxicated, two men from the bar took me to the mosque. You touched my head and said, ‘Your value to God is much greater. He has accepted you for his house. 'I can understand you even though I am intoxicated. Then I changed my life and started praying regularly. I have come back to you after performing Umrah with my wife.

 

He has brought countless people from many countries out of the liquor bar and into the cool shade of Islam. Gave the direction of new life. Instead of a mirage, many people have built a paradise life in the smooth shadow of Islam.
