The Messenger of Allah emphasized its importance through a Hadith, stating that the night prayer is the way of the righteous people before us, a means of drawing closer to Allah, a method to erase sins, and a guard against future sins. The Hadith alone can transform our perception of this act of worship. It is not limited to the month of Ramadan but is a continuous act of devotion.

speak today of an act of worship that we
can describe as being the introduction
to prophethood an act of worship that we
can describe as being Paradise on Earth
we speak today of none other than the
night prayer the messenger sallahu
alaihi wasallam said in the famous
Hadith which I'm sure you have come
across and this Hadith is going to be
our template for the short reminder
today he said uphold the night prayer
take care of the night prayer because
memorize these three phrases now because
it is the way of the righteous people
before you and it is a means of drawing
closer to your lord and it is a means of
erasing sins and it is a means of
guarding you from
sins this one Hadith is sufficient on
its own to transform our perception
towards this act of worship so that we
never ever see it the same way again but
what is the night prayer is it limited
to bowing and prostrating in the night
is it an act of that is exclusive to the
month of Ramadan no the Hadith that we
just heard makes it clear that this is
something all together different what is
let us analyze now and examine the
Hadith that we just heard phrase by
phrase what was the first phrase do you
remember it is the way of the righteous
people before you IM Ahmed had a guest
who visited him once and he was a
student of Hadith and so Imam Ahmed
wanted to host him that night and allow
him to spend the evening with him and so
he prepared for him a container of water
so that he can do his W when he wants to
pray at night the next morning IM Ahmed
came to wake him up and he noticed that
the container of water had been unmoved
he hadn't prayed at night so
iMed was shocked and he said Subhan
Allah he said Subhan Allah I have never
seen this before a student of Hadith who
does not have a portion of night prayer
a student of Hadith who doesn't pray at
night and we could repeat the exact same
words a Muslim parent who wants to raise
Muslim children who are protected from
The Temptations and doubtful matters out
there in society and he or she doesn't
pray at night an IM a an attendee of a a
deliverer of a a person who shares
Islamic reminders on Facebook and does
not have a portion of night prayer
somebody who believes that the squeeze
of the Grave is real and believes that
he shall see the face of the angel of
death and believes on the day of
judgment that will be 50 ,000 years long
and does not have prayer at night how
can that be so this is phrase number one
from the Hadith do you remember it it is
the way of the righteous people before
you what was phase phrase number two it
is a means of drawing closer to your
lord for those who ask about a staircase
that leads to the pleasure of Allah for
those who inquire about one of the
shortest routes that lead to the
acceptance of Allah I say that you will
find such a staircase in the middle of
the night perhaps dear brothers and
sisters this is one of the secret why
Allah offers so much to those men and
women who pray at night because it is a
means of drawing closer to your lord
those who discipline themselves to pray
whether after straight away or in the
later parts of the night before this is
a means of drawing closer to your lord
as he
saidat he has offered so much in thanks
so much as a reward what is the reward
you're probably now thinking what is the
reward of praying at night IM he said
because the same way that they would
make an effort to pray at night and to
not allow anybody to see their Good
Deeds Allah Almighty will reward them by
give them a reward by giving them a
reward that no human being has ever seen
they made an effort to hide their Good
Deeds by praying at night so Allah
Almighty has thanked them and
compensated them by giving them a reward
that is also hidden however does this
mean that we don't know at all what the
people of the night are going to be
given on the day of judgment we have no
perception of the reward in Jenna for
them no no we do have some perception
the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam
said there are three people whom Allah
Almighty loves and he smiles at them and
he is happy with them and he mentioned
one of the three people one of the three
categories as being as follows one of
the three categories he says is a person
who has a beautiful wife a beautiful
spouse and a very comfortable soft
bedding but then in the middle of the
night he gets up and he leaves his
spouse leaves his desire to remember
Allah so Allah Almighty will say to his
angels look at how my slave has left his
bed and his desire in in order to
remember me and if he wanted you could
have continued sleeping Allah Almighty
Smiles at such a person so you may think
now okay what is the significance of the
smile of Allah what happens when Allah
Smiles at a person immed nites in his
musnad that the messenger sallallah
alaihi wasallam said answering this
question when your lord Smiles at a
person he said when your lord Smiles at
a person in the life of this world he
will not have any accountability on the
day of judgment back door entrance into
Jenna all of the horrors that you and I
hear about it doesn't apply to these
people because they will not be held
accountable what was phrase number three
he said and the night prayer is a means
of erasing sins and is a means of
protecting you from sins dear brother
dear sister if you have accumulated
certain sins today or yesterday or at
some point in your past sins that you
are so scared that Allah Almighty is
going to remind you about them on the
day of standing then those sins can be
erased at night if you also have sinned
that you are afraid that you're going to
redo sometime in the future because
they're so addictive they're so
appealing they look so good you are
afraid that after your repentance you're
going to go back to them you will find
your shield and I will find my shield in
the night it is a means of erasing sins
meaning of the past and a means of
protection from sins meaning from the
future all of that is found in the night
and perhaps this is one of the secrets
dear brothers and sisters why the
messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam
refers to the night prayer
as the honor of the believer because a
person who minimizes his sin is honored
in the eyes of
Allah he says speaking about this
paradise on Earth he said the people of
the night as they worship Allah they
experience a sweetness that is far
greater than the joy of the Sinners and
if it wasn't for the worship of the
night I would have asked Allah Almighty
to cause me to die these were the words
of who was describing his relationship
with the night prayer and he spoke about
this process I forced myself to pray
night for 20 years and then I enjoyed
the night prayer for the remaining 20
years it will take time dear brothers
and sisters until you and I are able to
unlock that sweetness but when it comes
we will not want to replace it for any
other joy in existence it is really a
paradise on Earth congratulations to
those who illuminate their graves
congratulations to those who please
their lord before they meet him I ask
Allah subhana wa tal to forgive our sins
and to make us the people of the night
