You probably came to this page because you read an article on "How to Become a True Muslim". To perform this special Tahajjud Prayer it is required that you sleep before you can perform it, as suggested by the Arabic meaning of the name of the prayer itself, ie "awakening". This prayer can be performed at any time between Isya '(the daily night prayer) and Fajr (the pre-dawn prayer). However, it is best done between midnight and Fajr, and preferably in the last third of the night. Make it part of your daily routine and Allah will reward you with good luck and health if Allah wills it.
Steps
Step 1. Make sure that you have awakened from sleep and that the time of awakening is between the Isya 'prayer and the Fajr prayer
Step 2. Do the wudu
This is the ritual ablution before prayer or before touching the Holy Quran.
Step 3. Go to a clean place
This action must be done because God's name is pure. Consequently, one must invoke His name in a clean place. Sit on the prayer mat by placing it towards the Qibla. It is the direction of the Sacred Kaʿba.
Step 4. Free your heart of all earthly worries
Look for a state of calm. If you're having trouble with someone else, just ignore it all. Do as if nothing ever happened. Try to bring you into a state of inner awareness. Try to get rid of any negative feelings or thoughts. Gently close your eyes and shift your attention to your heart.
Step 5. Make the voluntary prayer
It is best if you also do the Tahajjud prayer, but it is not mandatory. Make sure you have read the article on "How to Salah" before trying to understand the procedure explained below. It is a set of two prayer cycles. You can do the two prayer cycles as many times as you like, because there is no limit. Eight rak'a (constituted unity of Islamic prayer) are considered the optimal number.
- After reciting the Al-Fatihah for each first cycle, recite the surah call Al-Kafirun.
- After reciting the Al-Fatihah for each second cycle, recite the surah called Al-Ikhlas.
-
During the Sujud for each second prayer cycle, say the following three times:
Rabbi adkhilnii mudkhala sidqiwwa akhrijnii mukhraja sidqi waj'allii minladunka sultaanan nasiira.
"O Allah, allow me to enter the door of truth, allow me also to leave the door of truth, and give me your assistance."
Step 6. Ask Allah, after you have completed the set of two cycles of prayer, health and good luck for you as a benevolent individual
If Allah wills it, He will grant your request.
Advice
- Ask a Muslim you know to guide you with the correct pronunciation of Arabic words.
- "The place where the intention to perform the prayer comes from is the heart. By simply deciding from the heart to do this action, a person has realized his intention. Consequently, he is not required to say aloud that you want to do this action. Spouting aloud the intention to perform the prayer is an innovation that is not present in the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), nor was it mentioned by any of the Sahaba (may Allah be pleased with them all) ". See in this regard al-Sharh al-Mumti ', 2/283.
- Be aware that out loud your intention before prayer is a bid'ah (innovation)!
