Tahajjud prayer is the most excellent nafl worship. By performing only two Rakats of Tahajjud prayers, one gets the status of excellence in the court of Allah. Especially – if you want something, pray Tahajjud.
Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said, ‘Whoever wakes up at night and wakes up his wife and both of them pray two rak’ahs of Tahajjud, they will be among the best dhikr in the sight of Allah.’
Proximity to Allah can be achieved by performing this prayer. If you want to ask Allah for something, there is no alternative to Tahajjud. This is why Satan hates this Tahajjud the most. So beware of Satan.

If you want something, you should pray Tahajjud because prayer is an effective way of acceptance. Allah can give you whatever you ask Allah by reciting Tahajjud.
Tahajjud is a powerful means of gathering energy from the heart and soul. One of the best ways to revitalize a lifeless heart. Tahajjud is a unique middle salat of being a beloved servant of Allah. The most worthy prayer after the obligatory prayer is the Tahajjud prayer.
Why should you pray Tahajjud if you want something?
Because the Tahajjud prayer has a unique feature not present in other prayers, by performing the Tahajjud prayer, a servant can get closer to his Lord.
At the time of Tahajjud, Allah Ta’ala came to the last sky and called the servants and said who are you who will pray to me, and I will accept your prayers. Also, there are some other benefits of this prayer, which we are discussing below.
- Servants of Rahman: Believers who perform Tahajjud are called Ibadur Rahman, i.e., Servants of Rahman. It is said, “And those who spend the night in front of their Lord (sometimes) in prostration and (sometimes) standing (they are servants of Rahman).” (Surah: Furqan, verse: 64)
- God-fearing: A person who performs Tahajjud is vital in the power of holiness. Allah says, ‘Muttaqis will surely be in gardens and springs.
Whatever their Lord gives them, they will continue to enjoy it. They were righteous before. They slept only a short time at night. And they used to ask for forgiveness at the time of prayer.
Why ask for anything in Tahajjud prayer?
- Their reward is the place of praise: Those who perform Tahajjud will be in the place of praise on the Day of Resurrection.
Allah Ta’ala says, “Tahajjud will be recited in some parts of the night, which is an additional prayer for you. May your Lord reach you in ‘Makame Mahmud.'” (Surah: Bani Israel, verse: 79)
- Loyal servants of Allah: Those who perform Tahajjud have been mentioned by Allah as faithful servants in the Qur’an. And they are said to possess knowledge.
But what (can such a person be equivalent to the person) who worships in the moments of the night, sometimes in prostration, standing, who fears the Hereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord? Say, those who know and those who do not are equal. (But) taking advice is only done by the wise. (Surah: Jumar, verse: 9)
- Disease prevention: Tahajjud prayer removes diseases from the body. Especially get rid of laziness and incapacity.
Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said, ‘You should establish the night prayer (Tahajjud) because this is the tradition of the righteous before you. Night prayer is a way to get close to Allah and avoid sin; Atonement for evil deeds and prevention of physical diseases.’ (Jamee Tirmidhi, Hadith: 3549)
How do you pray Tahajjud to ask for something?
It is better to recite the verses of the Holy Qur’an more and more during the Tahajjud prayer. If a long surah is memorized, it is compatible with reciting it in the Tahajjud prayer.
Surah Ikhlas can be recited 12 times in the first rak’at of the 12 rak’at Tahajjud prayer, 11 times in the second rak’at, ten times in the third rak’at, nine times in the fourth rak’at—so once in the twelfth rak’at. Again, Surah Ikhlas can be recited three times or one time in each rak’ah. Again, Surah Mujjammil, Ayatul Kursi, and Surah Al-Inshirah can also be prayed.
There is importance and virtue in praying Tahajjud after waking up late at night. The merit of Tahajjud prayer is more significant than all the nafl acts of worship. It is dear to Allah. For this reason, Allah made this prayer obligatory on Rasulullah (S.A.W.).
How do I wake up for Tahajjud to ask for something?
Tahajjud is the best time to ask Allah for something. But many of us cannot wake up during Tahajjud even if we want to. Here are some things you can follow.
First, performing the Tahajjud prayer before going to sleep is better. The most excellent significance of this is that if, for some reason, you cannot wake up for the Tahajjud prayer, you will be rewarded.
Rasulullah (s.a.w.) said, ‘Whoever came to his bed and whose intention was to get up at night to pray, but his sleep became heavy; A reward will be written for him according to his intentions, and his sleep is a charity for Allah.’
Secondly, one should refrain from unnecessary work and sleep quickly at the right time. If you sleep fast, the energy of Qiyamul Lail and Fajr is saved.
Thirdly, Tahajjud prayers should be performed. This practice can be done by getting up 25-30 minutes before Fajr prayer. After that, it slowly becomes a habit.
In a hadith found on the authority of Ayesha (R.A.), Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said, ‘Do what you can do.’
Fourth, it is necessary to observe the sleeping habits before going to sleep, such as going to bed with ablution and reciting sleep prayers.
A Sunnah of Rasulullah (S.A.W.) was to recite Surah Ikhlas, Surah Falaq, and Surah Nas on the palms of both hands before sleeping at night. It is better to observe these Sunnahs before going to sleep. Apart from this, by reciting Ayatul Kursi and sleep prayers, sleep can also be filled with worship.
