The reason for losing the pleasure of standing in night prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I used to stand in night prayer and find pleasure and happiness in it, but after a period of time I lost this pleasure. Do sins have a role in that?
Answer:
Without a doubt, repent to Allah from the sins, and be sincere to Allah in your intention and purpose, and strive to follow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and avoid religious innovations (bid'ah). You must have sincere resolve, and do not give in to laziness. Do not give in to laziness, but you must have sincere resolve to stand in night prayer until you become accustomed to it and find pleasure in it, for this is what helps you to persist in standing in night prayer. Yes.
