Likewise, standing in night prayer did not end with the end of Ramadan; standing in night prayer is prescribed every night,For Allah the Mighty and Majestic said in describing the people of Paradise: [al-Dhariyat: 17-18] And the Exalted said: [al-Muzzammil: 20] And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand in night prayer until his feet would swell, and it is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) that he said: (Allah the Exalted descends to the lowest heaven when the last third of the night remains,So he says: Who calls upon Me, I respond to him; who asks Me, I give him; who seeks My forgiveness, I forgive him, and this is every night) .
Therefore: So standing in night prayer did not end with the end of standing in night prayer in Ramadan, rather it is continuous and permanent every night. A person should set aside for himself a portion of the last part of the night in which to stand, even if it is only half an hour, according to what is easy for him. And if he stands in night prayer, let him continue;Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Do not be like so-and-so, who used to stand in night prayer and then left off standing in night prayer) And he should not belittle any amount of good deed, for it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: (The most beloved deed to Allah is the most consistent one, even if it is little) And let him conclude his night prayer with witr. If he hopes to reach the last part of the night, let him perform witr at the end of it; and if he does not hope to, let him perform witr at the beginning before he sleeps.
(17) They used to sleep but little of the night, (18) And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,
كَانُوا قَلِيلاً مِنْ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ * وَبِالأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَIndeed, your Lord knows, [O Muhammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَى مِنْ ثُلُثَي اللَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُ وَثُلُثَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنْ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَTherefore: So standing in night prayer did not end with the end of standing in night prayer in Ramadan, rather it is continuous and permanent every night.
