7 Practical Tips for praying Qiyaam al-Layl

7 Practical Tips for praying Qiyaam al-Layl


What is Qiyaam al-Layl?
Qiyaam' means 'standing' and 'Qiyaam al-Layl' means 'standing in night.' In the Islamic terminology, both terms refer to, 'the voluntary night prayer, whose time extends from after Isha prayer until dawn.' Other common names for Qiyaam al-Layl are, Salaat ul-Layl (the night prayer), Tahajjud (from hajada meaning remained awake at night), Witr (odd-numbered this term is also used to refer to the last one or three Raka'ah of Qiyaam) and Taraweeh (resting).


A widespread misconception is that Tahajjud is a different night prayer than Qiyaam or Taraweeh. It is important to clarify this misunderstanding and to make clear that there is only one nafl night prayer known by different names. Even though the term Taraweeh is more commonly used to describe the night prayer in Ramadan, it is not different from Tahajjud. Thus, the practice of praying Taraweeh in the earlier part of the night and Tahajjud in the later part should be stopped.


The Excellence of Qiyaam al-Layl
Numerous Ahaadeeth and Qur'aanic verses mention the excellence of Qiyaam al-Layl and the merit of those who perform it regularly. Umm al-Mumineen, Aa'ishah (radhi allahu anha) reported that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “The most beloved deeds to Allah are the most constant, even if they were little.” [Saheeh al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim] and she said in another narration: “Do not ever stop praying Qiyaam. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) never ceased praying it. When he was sick or weak, he prayed sitting.” [Saheeh al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslims] He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “You should pray Qiyaam al-Layl, for it is the habit of the righteous people who came before you, and it will bring you closer to your Lord, expiate for bad deeds, prevent sin, and expel disease from the body.” [At-Tirmidhee and Musnad Ahmad]


Narrated Mu'adh Ibn Jabal (radhi allahu anhu): 'The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said to him: “May I show you the gates of goodness?' (they are), “(a) Fasting is screen from Hell, (b) As-Sadaqah extinguishes the sins, as water extinguishes fire, (c) Standing in Salaat (prayer) by a slave of Allah during the last third part of a night.” Then the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) recited the verse: “Their (believer's) sides forsake their beds, to invoke their Lord in fear and hope; and they spend out of what We have bestowed on them.”' [Abu Dawood and at-Tirmidhee]


Abu Hurayrah (radhi allahu anhu) reported that Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “The best of prayer after those prescribed (i.e. obligatory prayer) is that in the depth of night.” [Saheeh Muslims] 


Abu Hurayrah (radhi allahu anhu) reported that Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “May Allah have mercy on a man who wakes up at night, prays, and wakes his wife to pray; and if she refuses, he sprinkles water on her face. And may Allah have mercy on a woman who wakes up at night, prays, and wakes her husband to pray; and if he refuses, she sprinkles water on his face.” [(Hasan) Abu Dawood ]


Abdullah Ibn Bashr (radhi allahu anhu) reported Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) saying:“Whoever prays Qiyaam reciting ten verses, he will not be recorded among the negligent. Whoever prays Qiyaam reciting one hundred verses, he will be recorded among the devout. And whoever prays Qiyaam reciting one thousand verses, he will be recorded among those with a multitude of good deeds.” [(Hasan) Abu Dawood]


7 Practical Tips for praying Qiyaam al-Layl
1: Ikhlas (Sincerity) - the key to Allah's Help and Blessings
Help of Allah is needed to accomplish and achieve success in all our affairs. And Allah only helps those who are sincere in their hearts. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “If you are truthful with Allah, then Allah will deliver to you what you wish for.” [An-Nasa'ee, al-Hakim and Saheeh al-Jamee] Therefore, one should have a sincere intention to pray Qiyaam al-Layl; seek the Pleasure of Allah Alone and avoid the desire of praise or fame. Allah says: “And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allah, and worship none but Him Alone…” [(98): 5]


Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said: “The degree to which a person is helped and aided by Allah depends on the degree of his intention, drive, aim and hopes. Help from Allah comes to people in proportion to their drive, intention, hopes and fears, and failure comes to them in like manner.”

2: Knowing the Virtues of Qiyaam al-Layl

Knowing the virtues and rewards of performing worship produces willingness and desire to perform the worship. We have previously mentioned numerous virtues of regularly praying Qiyaam al-Layl, here we mention the excellence of praying Qiyaam al-Layl particularly in the great month of Ramadan. Abu Hurayrah (radhi allahu anhu) reported: “Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) encouraged the people, without making it an absolute command, to perform Qiyaam during Ramadan. He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) used to say: “Whoever stands (in Qiyaam) in Ramadan out of faith and expectation (of Allah's reward), all his previous sins will be forgiven.” [Saheeh Muslim]

3: Taking a nap in the daytime

Taking a nap before or after Dhur Salaat will dismiss the stress and thus enable one to get up in the night and stand in front of his Lord. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Take a nap, for the Shayateen (pl. of Shaytan) do not take naps.” [Reported by at-Tabaranee. Al-Saheehah (2647)]

4: Sleeping according to the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger

(a) Sleep early: Sleeping early is a healthy habit and it was the practice of Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) to sleep directly after performing the Isha prayer. Abu Barzah al-Aslami (radhi allahu anhu) said that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) used to prefer to delay Isha, and he did not like to sleep before it or talk after it.” [Saheeh al-Bukharee] 

(b) Sleep in a state of taharah (purity): Ibn Abbas (radhi allahu anhu) reported that Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Purify these bodies and Allah will purify you, for there is no slave who goes to sleep in a state of purity but an Angel spends the night with him, and every time he turns over, [the Angel] says, 'O Allah! Forgive Your slave, for he went to bed in a state of purity.'” [Reported by at-Tabaranee. See Saheeh al-Jamee (3831)]

(c) Choose a suitable bed: Excessive luxurious or soft bed provokes laziness and makes one sleep more and become negligent. Aa'ishah (radhi allahu anha) narrates that the pillow of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) on which he slept at night was made of leather stuffed with palm fibers.” [Abu Dawood and Musnad Ahmad. Saheeh al-Jamee (4714)]

Once Umar Ibn al-Khattab (radhi allahu anhu) entered upon the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) when he was lying on a mat of palm fibers that had left marks on his side. Umar (radhi allahu anhu) said: “O Messenger of Allah, why do you not get something more comfortable than this?” He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “What do I have to do with this world? My relationship with this world is like that of a traveler on a hot summer's day, who seeks shade under a tree for an hour, then moves on.” [Musnad Ahmad and al-Hakim. Saheeh al-Jamee (5545)]

(d) Cleaning the bed and lying on the right sideAbu Hurayrah (radhi allahu anhu) reported: “The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “When any one of you goes to bed, let him clear his bed by hitting it with his garment, for he does not know what may have come onto it. Then let him lie down on his right side…” [Saheeh al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim]

(e) Reciting the Adhkaar (supplications) mentioned in the Sunnah before sleepingThere are a number of Adhkaar prescribed in the Sunnah before going to bed, amongst them are reciting the last verses of Soorah al-Baqarah, reciting Soorah al-Falaq and Soorah al-Nas and Soorah Ikhlas blow in the palms and wipe as much of the body possible, starting from the head, face and then the front of the body doing it three times. [Saheeh al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim]

Ali Ibn Abi Talib (radhi allahu anhu) reported that when the Prophet's daughter, Fatima (radhi allahu anha) came to him and asked him for a servant, he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said to her and Ali: “Shall I not teach you something that will be better for you than a servant? When you go to bed, say 'SubhanAllah' thirty-three times, 'Al-hamdulillah' thirty-three times, and 'Allahu Akbar' thirty-four times. This is better for you than a servant.” [Saheeh al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim]

5: Avoid too much food and drink

Too much food or drink is one of the main obstacles that make one lazy and negligent of Qiyaam al-Layl. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Man fills no vessel worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to have a few mouthfuls to give him the strength he needs. If he has to fill his stomach, then let him leave one-third for food, one-third for drink and one-third for air.” [Reported by at-Tirmidhee and Ibn Majah. Saheeh al-Jamee (5674)]

Abu Juhayfah (radhi allahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said to a man who burped in his presence: “Stop your burping, for the people who eat the most in this life will be the most hungry on the Day of Resurrection.” [Reported by al-Hakim. Saheeh al-Jamee (1190)]

6: Striving against oneself:

Striving against oneself to get up and pray and suppressing one's desires bring about Allah's help and His Pleasure for the slave. Allah says in the Qur'aan: “Strive in Allah's Cause as you ought to strive…” [Soorah al-Hajj (25): 78] “And as for those who strive hard in Our Cause, We will surely guide them to Our Paths. And verily, Allah is with the Muhsinoon (good-doers).” [ (29): 69]

The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “The Mujahid (one who strives in way of Allah) is the one who strives against his own self for the sake of Allah.” [Reported by al-Tirmidhee. See al-Saheehah (549)]

He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) also said: “When a man from my Ummah gets up to pray at night, striving against his own self to get up and purify himself, there are knots on him. When he washes his hands in wudhu, one knot is undone. When he washes his face, another knot is undone. When he wipes his head another knot is undone. When he washes his feet, another knot is undone. Then Allah says to those who are veiled (in the Unseen):'Look at this slave of Mine, he is striving against his own self and asking of Me. Whatever My slave asks of Me shall be his.” [Musnad Ahmad. See Saheeh al-Targheeb (627)]

7: Rebuking one's self for not praying Qiyaam al-Layl

Qiyaam al-Layl is a great blessing from Allah, the Exalted, and He has placed in it numerous spiritual benefits and rewards for the believer. Therefore, one should rebuke one's self, if he misses this great opportunity of achieving rewards and Pleasure of Allah. Allah says in the Qur'aan: “O you who believe! Fear Allah and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for the morrow, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Aware of what you do.” [(59): 18] 

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said: “If the slave is responsible and accountable for everything, even his hearing, sight and innermost thoughts, as Allah says, “…Verily, hearing, sight, and the heart of each of you will be questioned by Allah.” [Soorah al-Isra (17): 36], then he should check on himself before he is brought to account.”

The Fasting Person’s Dua is Not Rejected

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him):

We said: “O Messenger of Allah, when we see you our hearts are softened and we are people of the Hereafter, but when we leave you we are attracted by this world and by our womenfolk and children.” He said: “If you were always as you are when you are with me, the angels would shake hands with you, and they would visit you in your houses. If you did not commit sin, Allah would bring another people who would commit sin so that He could forgive them.”

He (Abu Hurayrah) said: We said: “O Messenger of Allah, tell us about Paradise, what is it built of?” He said: “Bricks of gold and bricks of silver; its mortar is musk, its pebbles are pearls and rubies, its soil is saffron. Whoever enters it will be joyous and will never be sad, he will abide therein forever and never die. His clothes will never wear out, and his youth will never fade. There are three whose dua will not be rejected: a just ruler, a fasting person until he breaks the fast, and the prayer of the one who has been wronged. It is borne on the clouds, and the gates of heaven are opened for it, and the Lord - may He be glorified and exalted - says: ‘By My glory, I will grant you help even if it is after some time.’” 

Reported in Musnad Ahmad (ibn Hanbal) #8030 and classified Saheeh by Shuayb al-Arnaoot in Tahqeeq al-Musnad.

5 Ramadan Duas That Work

As we all know, Ramadan is a great time to spiritually recharge! It’s also a great time to make Dua.

Every year for the past 3 years I've made a Dua list. At the start of Ramadan I write down a list of 7 to 8 things that I want the most and I memorize them. I make dua for each item on the list every day of Ramadan at the times that dua are more likely to be accepted. I can personally tell you all that it does wonders. Honestly, things I’ve asked for persistently and I did not think would, have come true. Read more on "5 Ramadan Duas That Work"

Istikharah Prayer

قال رسول الله صلى اله عليه وسلم: "إذا هم أحدكم بالأمر فليصل ركعتين من غير الفريضة ثم ليقل: أللهم أني أستخيرك بعلمك، وأستقدرك بقدرتك، وأسألك من فضلك العظيم، أنك تقدر ولا أقدر، وتعلم ولا أعلم، وأنت علاّم الغيوب. أللهم أن كنت تعلم أن هذا الأمر خيرُ لي في ديني ومعاشي وعاقبة أمري(عاجل أمري أو اجله)، أللهم فأقدره لي ثم يسره لي ثم بارك لي فيه. أللهم وأن كنت تعلم أن هذا الأمر شرُ لي في ديني ومعاشي وعاقبة أمري(عاجل أمري أو أجله)، أللهم فأصرفه عني وأقدر لي الخير حيث كان، ثم رضني به. ثم ليسمي حاجته.

Prophet Mohammad PBUH said: “If someone of you is trying to decide about some issue, then he/she should pray two rukah then say:”

“Oh Allah, I ask you by your great knowledge; and I request your great help and I ask for your great favor. Indeed, it is you who knows what I don’t know, it is you who is capable of everything when I can’t do anything on my own, and it is you who is the real knowledgeable of the unseen. Oh Lord, if you see goodness for me in this matter whether in this life or hereafter, then please make it happen for me easily and then bless it for me; and if you see evil and badness for me in this matter whether in this life or hereafter, then abstain it from me and show me the goodness wherever it is then bless it for me”. 

“Then you state the matter for which you are asking Allah’s assistance”. For example: marriage, job, relocating or any thing.

Wonderful Prayers and Du3as

Please make sure you use the key for accepting all du3as which is saying الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله "Alhamduli Allah, wassalatu wassalamu 3ala Rasuli Allah" (which means, all thanks and praises are due to Allah, and peace and blessing be upon the messenger of Allah) before and after reciting all the du3a:

Prophet Mohammad PBUH taught Aisha MABPWH (may Allah be pleased with her) this Du3a:

اللهم انك عفو تحب العفو فاعفو عني

"Oh Allah, verily you are the best forgiver, and you love forgiving, so please forgive all my sins."

Prophet Mohammad PBUH taught his daughter this beautiful du3a:

اللهم يا حي يا قيوم برحمتك استغيث، لا تكلني الا نفسي طرفة عين، وأصلح لي شأني كله

"Oh Allah, You are The Everlasting Living, You are The One Who Has raised on His Own, please do not leave managing my affairs up to me not even for a blink of an eye; but fix and better all matters for me."

Prophet Mohammad PBUH taught Abu Bakr MABPWH this Du3a:

اللهم اني ظلمت نفسي ظلما كثيرا، ولا يغفر الذنوب الا انت، فاغفر لي بمغفرة من عندك وارحمني انك انت الغفور الرحيم

"Oh Allah, verily I have so much transgressed against my soul; and no one forgives all sins but You. So please forgive my sins all together and have mercy upon me. Verily, it is you Who is The Most Forgiving, Most Merciful."

This du3a contains اسم الأله الأعظم (The Most Great Name of Allah); It is the name with which whomsoever asks Allah SWT for something, he will be granted; and with This Most Great Name of Allah whomsoever calls Allah, he will be answered:

اللهم يا ودود يا ودود يا ودود، يا ذا العرش المجيد، يا مبدىء يا معيد، يا فعال لما تريد، أسألك اللهم بنور وجهك اللذي ملأ أركان عرشك، وبقدرتك اللتي قدرت بها على خلقك، وبرحمتك اللتي وسعت كل شيء، أنت اللذي وسعت كل شيء رحمة وعلما، لا أله ألا أنت، يا مغيث اغثني، يا مغيث أغثني، يا مغيث أغثني

"Oh Lord, You are The Most Loving, The Most Loving, The Most Loving, to You only belongs the Mighty Throne, You are The Real Beginner of everything and You are The Re-Creator of everything, You are The One Who have the Mighty Will, I politely ask you by The Great Light of Your Face from Which all corners of Your Throne are being enlightened, and by The Great Power which only You possess over all Your creation, and by Your Mercy which overwhelmed everything, It is verily Only You Who possess Knowledge and Mercy over everything, there is no deity worthy of worship except You, Oh You Great Helper, please help me, Oh You Great Helper, please help me, Oh You Great Helper, please help me."  

You can also add and build on this du3a and insha Allah you will be granted. This du3a also contains The Most Great Name of Allah:
 
اللهم اني أسألك بأنك لك الحمد، لاأله الا انت، الحنان، المنان، بديع السماوات والأرض، يا ذا الجلال والأكرام، يا حي يا قيوم

"Oh Allah, I ask You for all praises are due to you, verily there is no God but You, You are The One Who owns most favors upon everything, and You are The One to Whom every gratefulness is due. You are the Most Gorgeous being of all heavens and the Earth. You are the One  with the Most Might and Power, You are The Everlasting Living, and You are The One Who Has raised on His Own." 

Here is another prayer the Prophet PBUH used to recite:

اللهم أصلح لي ديني اللذي هو عصمة أمري، واصلح لي دنياي اللتي فيها معاشي، وأصلح لي آخرتي اللتي فيها معادي، واجعل الحياة زيادة لي في كل خير، واجعل الموت راحة لي من كل شر

"Oh Allah please better my religion which is my best help in this great test, and better my life which is my means in this temporary test, and better my hereafter which will be my permanent place of living, and make this life an increase of every good for me, and make my death a comfort from every evil."

Another du3a of the Prophet PBUH:

اللهم اغفر لي ذنبي، ووسع خلقي، وطيب لي كسبي، وقنعني بما رزقتني، ولا تذهب قلبي الى شيء صرفته عني

"Oh Allah please forgive all my sins, and better my character, and bless and clean my riziq (the earnings which You bestow unto me), and grant me the satisfaction of whatever you bestow unto me, and please don't make my heart follow that which You have abstained from me."


Another wonderful du3a of the Prophet PBUH:

اللهم اني اعوذ بك من العجز والكسل ومن البخل والجبن والهرم واعوذ بك من عذاب القبر وأعوذ بك من فتنة المحيا والممات ومن فتنة المسيح الدجال 


"Oh Allah, I seek refuge with you from disability, and laziness; and from miserliness, and cowardliness, and weakness of the old age; and I seek refuge with you from the punishment of the grave and from the trouble of the test of life and the test of death and the test of addajjal (the lying messiah who will claim divinity and has only one functioning eye)." 


     If you want to have your prayers heard by The Most Generous, The Most Merciful, The Most Powerful; let you heart be clean towards every being (no matter what they have done to you; forgive everyone for the sake of Allah alone), then call on Allah SWT alone; with no partners; with the awareness that He will grant you what you are asking for out of His Generosity and Mercy (if what you are asking for is good and not rushing for the results of your du3a). It also helps if you face the Qibla, raise your hands to the sky and look into your hands as if you are awaiting for his blessings to fall right in your hands (because according to the prophet PBUH, Allah SWT is way more Generous than to let your extended hands fall down without Him answering your needs). It is also very helpful to focus on the best times for du3a that Allah SWT answers all du3a in those specific times. Some of these times are:
 
1- During Sujud (because you are the closest to Allah SWT during Sujud)
2- While it is raining.
3- While you are fasting.
4- During the last third of the night.
5- When you are breaking your fasting after the Mghrib Athan.
6- Right after the Fardh salat (obligatory prayers)
7- Right after the athan.

     It is also very helpful to mention that the du3a of the oppressed one, and the parents to their own kids, and your du3a (as a Muslim person) to your Muslim brother/sister (anybody it doesn't have to be your siblings) without their knowledge is most likely to be answered by The Most Generous One, so be sure you use this information. Our Prophet PBUH described du3a as the brain of all acts of worship because it brings you closer to the Creator and reminds you of your weakness and the fact that you and all of us are so in need to Allah SWT every time we raise our hands and ask Allah SWT to grant us our wishes. You may also add whatever you like from your own as long as you do not ask Allah SWT to grant you something haram (impermissible) in whatever language you feel comfortable with because what matters to Allah SWT is your sincerity in all your worship including du3a. Here is also what is called " من جوامع الكلم " which is a prayer that conclude lots of good prayers within itself:

اللهم اني أسألك من خير ما سألك منه نبيك محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وأعوذ بك من شر ما استعاذ بك منه نبيك محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم

"Oh Allah I politely ask you the best of which your messenger Mohammad PBUH had ever asked you, and I seek refuge with you from the worst from which your messenger Mohammad PBUH ever seek refuge with you." 

     Finally, it is very important to say that I have done my best in remembering and then translating what I know of the best du3as of the Prophet PBUH. Whatever is correct within it is from Allah SWT, and whatever is not correct is from myself. May Allah SWT grants us all the most high and the most middle parts of Jannah that is Al-Firdouse (The Paradise).
