How to be alone with Allah


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
السلام عليكم


"The best prayer after the prescribed ones is the nighttime prayer." Muslim

"Perform the prayer at the sinking of the sun to the darkening of the night and the recital of dawn; surely the recital of dawn is witnessed. And as for the night, keep vigil a part of it, as a work of supererogation for you; it may be that your Lord will raise thee up to a laudable station." Qur'an Al-Israa 17:78-79)

Ponder on these very powerful words,

In one of God's revealed scriptures it is said: "He has lied who claims to love Me (Allah) but who when night falls sleeps (and leaves) Me. Does not every lover love to be alone with his beloved?" (Quoting from Imam Al-Haddad's Book of Assistance)

May Allah give you tawfiq. Ameen.
