Satan gave good advice one time and this
was the advice at the time of the
Prophet peace and blessings be upon him
there was once a man who was caught
stealing and the one who caught the
thief was named Abu hura Abu hura told
the man that he has to take him to the
prophet peace and blessings be upon him
in order to see what the punishment is
going to be the man begged Abu hura to
let him go he said I'm a needy man with
a large family Abu hura felt bad for the
man and let him go the next day the
prophet peace and blessings be upon Him
asked Abu hura about the man who was
caught stealing last night Abu hura said
that he felt bad for the man and that he
let him go the prophet peace and
blessings be upon him told Abu hura that
that man told a lie and that he was
going to return and then on the same day
that man came again and was caught
stealing once again by Abu hura Abu hura
now said to a man that he has to take
him to the messenger of God peace and
blessings be upon him in order to see
what the punishment is going to be the
man begged Abu hura again he said I'm a
needy man with a large family if you let
me go this time I will never come back
so Abu hura once again felt bad for the
the man and let him go and like
clockwork the next day the prophet of
God peace and blessings be upon Him
asked Abu hura what happened with the
man last night Abu hura told the prophet
peace be upon him that the man has a
large family and he said he's not going
to come back again the prophet peace and
blessings be upon him told Abu hura that
man has told you a lie and he will
return and just like the prophet peace
and blessings be upon him said that man
came again to try to steal Abu hura
callau him again for a third time and
this was the last straw he told the man
this is it I've caught you three times
stealing and you said said you weren't
going to come back but you did I must
take you to the prophet of God peace and
blessings be upon him the man said let
go of me and I shall teach you some
words with which Allah May benefit you
abuur asked him what are those words the
man replied when you go to bed recite
for there will be a guardian appointed
Over You by Allah and Satan will not be
able to approach you until the morning
so upon hearing this good advice Abu
hura let him go and the next day the
prophet peace and blessings be upon Him
asked Abu hura again what happened with
the captive that was caught stealing
last night Abu hura told the prophet
peace be upon him that the man promised
to tell him some words with which Allah
May benefit him the prophet peace be
upon Him asked Abu hura what are these
words that he taught you Abu hura said
that the man told him to recite the AY
before he goes to sleep and therefore a
guardian will be appointed over him
throughout his whole night the messenger
of God peace and blessings be upon him
said oh Abu hura do you know with whom
you were speaking with the last three
nights Abu hura said no I don't know who
that was the prophet peace and blessings
be upon him said he was Satan the best
night routine I've gotten a lot of
comments on this and I see a lot of you
guys don't have a night routine and a
lot of you guys also are suffering from
insomnia so this is the best night
routine to help you fall asleep using
the Quran and Sunnah and also modern
science first things first no
electronics before sleep I would say at
least a minimum of 30 minutes before you
go to sleep no more Electronics study
showed that the blue light emitted from
these screens is bad for you and it
messes up your circadian rhythm so 30
minutes before you go to sleep no more
Electronics next thing 6 hours before
you go to sleep no more caffeine so if
you go to sleep at 11:00 at 5:00 p.m.
there's no more caffeine so cut caffeine
out 6 hours before you go to sleep next
2 hours before you go to sleep stop
drinking so much water I see a lot of
people chug water before you go to sleep
you're going to get up during the night
to go use the bathroom and also when
it's time to go to sleep you're not
going to be able to fall asleep cuz you
have to keep getting up to go to the
bathroom so 2 hours before you go to
sleep minimize the amount of water you
drink because you don't want to keep
getting up to go to the bathroom next
study show a cold room is easier to fall
asleep in if you have a cold room it's
easier to fall asleep in because when
you go to sleep your body temperature
decreases and therefore you're going to
fall asleep easier so if you can try to
make your room colder next all lights
need to be turned off in your room no
lamps no LED lights no bulbs nothing
everything has to get completely turned
off you need a pitch black room that's
the best way to fall asleep also try not
to go to sleep hungry I found for me at
least I struggle going to sleep if I'm
hungry I feel like I have to go get up
to the kitchen and go eat something
before I go to sleep so if you find
that's a struggle for you too try to eat
something before going to sleep
therefore you're not going to sleep on
an empty stomach but also with eating
try not to eat any sugars or fruits cuz
these sugars and fruits they give you
energy we don't want energy before going
to sleep so try to minimize the fruits
and sugars that you eat before going to
sleep and now the final simple step is
to try to fall asleep at the same time
every night you don't want to switch it
every night one day you sleep at 9:00
p.m. one day you sleep at 11:00 one day
you sleep at 2 in the morning you don't
want to keep switching it around your
body needs a routine your body likes
routine it likes habits so you need try
to fall as asleep at the same time every
day and so for me typically that's
between 10: to 11:00 p.m. is when I fall
asleep I try not to go too early and I
try not to fall asleep too late and now
the best tip to fall asleep and the best
thing you can do for the perfect night
routine to be able to fall asleep is
this you need to have a productive day
you cannot try to go to sleep when
you're still full of energy you probably
watching this right now you stay at home
all day you don't work out you don't
exercise you don't do anything that
requires a lot of mental energy you
don't do anything that's difficult then
at the end of the day you wonder why you
can't fall asleep well you still have
too much energy you didn't use your
energy for the day if you would have
worked out exercised read books work on
big projects do difficult tasks that
require mental energy by the end of the
day you'd be completely done for you'd
hit the bed and fall asleep right away
cuz you have no energy so if you're
about to go to sleep and you're about to
go to your night routine and you see you
still have energy then that means you
didn't do enough during the day and you
still have more in you so don't fall
asleep yet and also that means the next
day you know you have to do more A good
rule of thumb is that if you can't fall
asleep within 20 minutes then don't even
try to fall asleep go do something go
read a book go work on a small project
or something and then try to fall asleep
once you're tired all right that's the
science side of things now we're going
to move to the Islamic side and what the
prophet peace and blessings be upon him
told us to do first off the best
sleeping position is to sleep on your
right side it's not your left side and
it's definitely not on your belly the
prophet peace and blessings be upon him
said it was narrated that Abu Dar said
the prophet be of vess be upon Him
passed by me and I was lying on my
stomach he nudged me with his foot and
said oade this is how the people of Hell
lie so the people of Hell lie on their
stomach so that's why the prophet peace
be upon them told us to not lie on your
stomach and also a study showed that
it's not good for your back when you lie
on your stomach the next thing the
prophet peace and blessings be upon Him
taught us was this when one of you goes
to his bed let him dust off his bed with
the inside of his lower garment for he
does not know what came onto it after he
left so before you come to lay on your
bed dust it off with something like
either a cloth he said you lower garment
but anything else and you have to
remember at the time of the Prophet
peace and blessings be upon him this was
1,400 years ago so they didn't have
houses like we have today back then
snakes would come in the house sometimes
scorpions this is normal of course
that's different with today especially
if you live in a first world country but
still this is a good practice to dust
off your bed and clean it off just in
case anything might be there and now
before you go to sleep it was
recommended by the prophet peace and
blessings be upon him to make wo just
like you make wo before prayer you
should make wo before you go to sleep
and so now once your bed is dusted and
you made the wo and you're laying on
your right side on your bed this is the
Dua to make oh Allah I surrender to you
and entrust all my Affairs to you and
depend upon you for your blessings both
with hope and with fear of you there is
no fleeing from you and there is no
place of protection and safety except
with you oh Allah I believe in your book
which you have revealed and in your
Prophet whom you have sent and in the
prophet peace be upon him said said if
you die that very night you will die
with faith the next thing you can do
after making this Dua is this narrated
by Aisha whenever the prophet peace and
blessings be upon him went to bed he
used to cup his hands together and blow
over it
reciting and and then rub his hands over
whatever parts of his body he was able
to rub starting with his head face in
front of his body he used to do that
three times so cing your hands and
reciting the three last suras of the
Quran and then rubbing them over your
body three times before you go to sleep
this is one of the sunnas of the Prophet
peace be upon him and now another Sunnah
that you can do of the Prophet peace be
upon Him is this the prophet peace be
upon him said when you go to bed recite
Subhan Allah 33 times alhamdulillah 33
times and allahar 34 times this was
narrated by Ali and this was when the
prophet peace be upon him was talking to
his daughter Fatima so this is a good
Sunnah to do and then the next thing you
can do is recite the ofy as mentioned in
the beginning of the video reciting a
Coursey will ensure that you have a
guardian protecting you in your sleep
and no Satan can touch you the prophet
peace and blessings be upon also said if
somebody recited the last two verses
ofah Al Bak at night that would be
sufficient for him so the last two
verses of Al Bak if you know them you
can reite them before you go to sleep as
well and then the final Sunnah that you
can do by the prophet peace and
blessings be upon him before you go to
sleep is this the prophet peace be upon
him said let one of you before you sleep
say in your name my Lord I lie down and
in your name I Rise if you should take
my soul then have mercy on it and if you
should return to my soul then protect it
as you protect your righteous slaves
