Tahajjud, is a secret between the servant and his Lord. It is a time when the world sleeps, yet the devoted rises, seeking closeness to Allah in solitude. The Prophet (SAW) emphasized its immense reward, describing it as a gateway to divine mercy and guidance. In the stillness of the night, the heart finds clarity, sins are forgiven, and du’as are accepted.
