Guidance for those who stay up until dawn

Question:
Guidance for those who are deprived of reward, who frequently stay up late until the appearance of dawn, to the point that sometimes they do not wake their young children or small ones to this virtue?

Answer:
This is a bad phenomenon that has appeared among people today: staying up at night for gossip, watching television channels, listening to radio stations, and so on. Then they sleep at the end of the night after satisfying their amusement and play. They sleep so much that they sometimes miss the Fajr prayer, not praying it at its proper time and not praying it in congregation. This is negligence and a great deprivation. The head of the household should train his family to pray at night and to sleep and rest from the beginning of the night. Allah the Exalted said: The standing of the night is the performance of prayer after sleep. This is the standing of the night: performing the night prayer after sleep. And the sleep should be from the beginning of the night. This is the best and healthiest sleep for the body. So the Muslim does not neglect his life and exit this world without good deeds and with negligence, because this world is a farm for the Hereafter, so he does not neglect it. We do not say that he prays the entire night; we do not say that he should have a share of standing in night prayer, even if it is little, and the more he does, the better, but he should not deprive himself of standing in night prayer. Yes, before the Fajr prayer. Yes.
