The Factors That Aid in Standing the Night Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh Salih, we move on to another questioner. This is Muhammad from Jeddah, and he says: What are the factors that help one stand the night prayer and maintain it? I ask you to pray for me that I not abandon the night prayer?
Answer:
The most important thing is the resolve to stand in night prayer. You make the intention that you will get up in the last part of the night and pray, and you resolve to do so. The second matter is that you sleep early in the first part of the night, so that you may be able to get up in the last part. The third matter is that you accustom yourself to it until you become used to it and find pleasure in it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
