What surah to read for Tahajjud prayer?
Bismillahir Rahmani Rahim, Today I want to discuss what surah to read for Tahajjud prayer or Surah of Tahajjud Namaz, Is Tahajjud prayer should be performed daily, and Is Tahajjud prayer should be performed in the dark.
Tahajjud surah
It is wajib (compulsory) to recite any surah or part of a surah after reciting Surah Al-Fatiha in every Rakat of the prayers other than the obligatory prayers (wajib, sunnah, nafl). There is no specific Surah for Nafal Namaz. The worshiper will read the Qur’an from the place that he finds easier for himself.
Abu Salama Ibn Abdur Rahman said:
He once asked Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) how the Prophet’s (may peace be upon him) night prayer of Ramadan was. He replied that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not pray more than 11 Rakats in the month of Ramadan and outside of Ramadan. And he used to pray (2+2) four rakat first. You (Abu Salama) do not ask about her beauty and length. Then he used to pray (2+2) four Rakats. You don’t ask about her beauty and size. Then he used to pray three Rakats (Witr).
Huzaifa said, “Once the Prophet (PBUH) recited Surah Al-Baqarah, Al-Imran and Nisa slowly in one rak’ah.
Muslim 772, Nasa’i 1008, 1132
Is Tahajjud prayer should be performed daily?
It is better to perform the Tahajjud prayer daily or regularly without leaving it. It is mustahabb to recite a certain number of Rakats regularly; If the body is strong and the mind is happy, then do long kirat; Otherwise, he will pray with a light Qirat, and if he runs away, he will perform Qaza. Narrated Aisha Radiyallahu Anha: The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:
Do what you can; Because Allah does not tire until you tire. He used to say: That deed is preferable to Allah; Banda maintains regularity over it, though the amount is less.
Sahih Bukhari, Hadith No. 970; Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 782
On the authority of Abdullah ibn Amr, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to me:
O Abdullah, you are not like so-and-so, he used to fast at night, but he abandoned it.
Sahih Bukhari, Hadith No. 1152; Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 1119
Ayesha Radiyallahu Anha said:
When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed a prayer, he preferred to perform it regularly; If sleep overcame him or he found it difficult to stand, he would pray twelve rak’ahs a day.
Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 746
On the authority of Umar Ibn Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:
If a person who falls asleep from his Ajifa or what is left of it, recites it between the Fajr and Zuhr prayers, it will be written for him as if he had recited it at night.
Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 747
Is Tahajjud prayer should be performed in the dark?
The purpose of performing the night prayer is to gain more of Allah’s pleasure; Therefore it is essential to adopt concentration and humility in Salah; If praying Tahajjud in bright light causes disturbance in concentration, it is better to pray Tahajjud in dim light.
May Allah Ta’ala grant us Tawfiq to understand things correctly and act; Allahumma Amen.
