This is not really a tahajjud Tangent, this is more of a reminder to pray tahajjud. There is great benefit to our hearts when we pray tahajjud. There is great benefit when we talk to our lord and ask for whatever our hearts have within them. Allah comes down in the last third of the night asking his servants if they have anything they would like to ask of their lord, or sins that they hope to be forgiven. Allah in all His might and generosity gives us a moment to talk to Him SWT, all we need to sacrifice is our sleep. A portion of our comfort in this dunya, to talk to the one who has promised us the heavens. So is it not a better deal than sleeping through the night. Sleep is a mercy from Allah, a recovery for the body, a moment of rest for the mind, but tahajjud is an arrow that never misses it's target. So get up even 30 minutes or 20 minutes before far, pray even just two rakat. It's makes such a big difference to your day, your Salah and your connection with Allah. Surely in the remeberance of Allah do hearts find peace.

Surely, Allah loves those who place their trust in Him

كافٍ بأن يُنقِذَكَ من أيّ شيء.

من كُلِّ شيء.

You have Allah.

That’s enough to save you from anything.
