Some tips to wake up for fajr and tahajjud!
Assalam Alaykum!
Here are some tips to inshaAllah help us wake up for fajr and tahajjud! May Allah grant us tawfiq and baraka in our time inshaAllah! Ameen!
InshaAllah may we also be able to keep up with some extra acts of ibadah and improvements in our character that inshaAllah we made during Ramadan!
InshaAllah let's also try our best to wake up for tahajjud, and strengthen our connection to Allah!
I got this as part of an email and part of it stated:
"It is from the Rizq (provision/bounty) of Allah that He allows you to get up for Fajr and especially Tahajjud, and when you start sinning He may deprive you from turning to Him at Fajr/Tahajjud due to your sins and having turned away from Him. May Allah swt protect us all and grant us forgiveness and abundant tawfiq. Ameen!"
I hear that in Hidramawt, Yemen, the shuyukh say to stay away from the student who does not wake up for tahajjud because these students are heedless! SubhanAllah, I don't even want to imagine what is said about those who have a hard time waking up for fajr! InshaAllah may Allah protect us from our our own weaknesses and from the shaytan! And don't just go back to sleep after fajr! Read Surah Yasin, recite daily dhikr, and memorize/recite the Qur'an inshaAllah. Pray salat-al-ishrak and later on in the day, inshaAllah pray salat-al-doha. Of course if a person has make-up prayers to make up, these take precedence over any extra forms of worship because we have to make up what we owe to Allah--as well as the rights we owe to our ownselves and others. Shaykh Yaqoubi (may Allah preserve him!) said that on the Day of Judgement, other people will be getting our good deeds if we didn't pray, because in our prayer, we pray for other people; thus people will be asking us why we didn't fulfill a prayer we owed to them!! SubhanAllah!
Tips to help you wake up for Fajr (and Tahajjud!), Insha'Allah:
1. Keep Away from Ma'aasi (acts of disobedience).
2. Avoid eating too much food.
3. Drink one or two glasses of water before going to bed.
4. Perform Wudoo (ablution) before going to bed.
5. Go to bed early.
6. Make intention in your heart to get up for Fajr/Tahajjud.
7. Set your alarm.
8. Establish Fajr/Tahajjud wake up calling system with family and friends e.g. friends/family members calling, texting etc each other to help one another wake up for the prayer.
9. Say prescribed supplications (dua) before sleeping
10. Once awake, do not linger lazily in bed.
11. Go to your local masjid to pray
