What advice can we give him or her to keep them motivated to remind them of what it is they are doing when they are worshipping Allah Almighty through the night tarawih prayers. Let us take a look at a few points in the hope of refreshing the purpose of this great act of worship.

of being reminded by Allah of each and every one of our sins in his court on the day of reckoning. Can you imagine the shame and the fear of being asked about the small and the big before him on the day of judgment. And with that in mind, these night prayers are a means of raising them. Men Samarra, Madonna Eman and ratty seven off your alma mater, Kundalini Bambi whoever stands in prayer at night during Ramadan all of his previous sins will be raised. Remember that? The to remember that the enormous quantities of good deeds come about through the Tarawih prayer. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in the regular either Salam Al Imam tion Sarraf Hasib Allahu kriya Molina, a

Number five remember that the people who pray at night will be given a reward
the nature and entirety of which is only known to Allah subhanho wa Taala Subhanallah those who make a habit of praying at night by man and beyond there to express expect surprises on the day of judgment. And that's why after Allah Almighty spoke about those whose sides forsake their beds, meaning they pray at night he said about their reward fellow Darla Moon assume aqui Allah Who knew karate iron, just be American, we are maroon no soul knows of the delights of the eyes that have been hidden for them as a reward for that what they used to do.

Angel Jibreel once came to Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he said to him on Muhammad, live as long as you wish you shall die in the end and love whom you wish you will be separated from them in the end and
do whatever you wish you shall be held accountable in the end and realize that the honor of the believer is in his night prayer and that his dignity is when he is not
reliant upon others.

And one of them is a person who has a beautiful spouse and they soft bedding, but nevertheless arises to pray at night.
And then Allah Almighty said, such and such person has left his desire in order to remember me. And if he will, he would have continued sleeping, and you may ask me the question, what does it mean if Allah smiles at me, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam answers this question and he said, well, either Allah Hikaru Buka Illa Abdon feed dunya further Hyderabadi if Allah smiles at a servant of his in this world, then this person will have no accountability on the Day of Judgment. So clearly we were not in our right minds when we harbored second thoughts about performing Tara we have prayer. If you've slack and you still have time to come back in line, and using Ramadan as your
