Yahya Ibrahim – Guidebook to God #27 – Tahajjud – Finding light in the darkness

			Finding light in the darkness to head Jude, the night vigil the night prayers Subhan Allah. This is
one of the great aims that you and I should seek to improve. And I know it's very difficult well,
light very difficult for me to kind of talk to you even about it. Many of us have had a lot we
struggle with our day to day prayers we just struggling with food just struggling with or you know,
finding time in our work or at school, to be able to take time off and pray Our children have
prayer. And now you're telling me to pray night prayers. Well, believe it or not one of the best
ways for you to improve your five daily prayers, the quality of them, your habitual pneus in them is
		

			that you make a determined effort to pray the voluntary prayers, because it makes you understand the
value of the regimented slot app. And I do want to talk to you about the value of finding light in
the darkness, finding an opportunity to turn to Allah when others are asleep, finding an opportunity
to pray to Allah when NASA neon the prophets I seldom said that Hollywood agenda TV Salaam, you want
to enter Jenna in peace solution NASA neon pray when other people are asleep when your street
outside is dark, and the night has set and nobody is awake except to panela you have risen, your
family have risen to answer the call of Allah and a few hours few minutes few moments before you
		

			catch to America or four o'clock or six o'clock or eight Raka and I'm not saying you have to spend
half the night or even a third of the night in beginning but define that your love will grow to
Allah, your consistency in your prayer will become much more consistent when you have set that you
want to convert converse with a law before it nobody has trouble waking up for failure in Ramadan.
Nobody has trouble finding it difficult to wake up half an hour early for so who prepare a meal for
our families to eat with our mothers and parents and fathers to sit together and have a quick sahadi
and see who would and then prefetch but we find it difficult outside because our priorities are not

television Allah Subhana Allah says in Surah to sajida the name of this chapter is called
prostration and in it is essentially that where a lot describes Salatu tahajjud he says teta Jaffa
du nouveau Houma, unelma la Jerry, you're the owner of the home Whoa, for those who are elite, those
who are righteous those who have built an ethics and a character of righteousness. They are those
whose bodies whose sides whose backs have a hatred and a resentment for their bed. You say what does
that mean? It means that if your bed is so soft, that you can't get out of it because it's so warm,
		

			it's so comfortable, that you miss your favorite prayer, you should look at that bed and hate it and
say you've kept me away from answering the call of Allah, Allah to Hiraman unknown, you have
distracted me from the remembrance of a loss of Hannah who went to Allah. And therefore the ideal of
the believer is that their own body physically resents the fact that their bed has kept them asleep
when they could have had an opportunity. So when they wake up to Jaffa, junoon, boom, their body
declared that we don't love the softness of this bed at this time. homophone wha, what wakes a
person up? Why will you become consistent into hygiene? There's only two reasons how there's a fear
		

			you have of a law. There's a fear you have of the circumstances in your life, some kind of law when
somebody's sick, when somebody is unwell before you have surgery. If there's a divorce that is
pending on the horizon, whenever there's something that's troubled your father, your mother, your
brothers or your sister, whenever there's a major disturbance, it's easy for people to wake up and
say, oh, Allah, Allah, Allah, help us, help us, help us out of fear. And therefore Allah
acknowledges that this is a valid reason how often and number two PAMA, out of greed, out of
yearning for Allah's blessing that even though I'm not afraid, I want more, I want more of the
		

			wealth of the dunya I want more of the higher standard in it. I want to be acknowledged in this
light but acknowledging the rent in the next life even more so. Did you know The prophets I seldom
describes those who praise Allah to the head dude, their night vigil which comes from the word jaha
doubt which is the word Jihad right? And therefore it's a night prayer, but it's the night Jihad
that you and I perform in entering Allah subhanho wa Taala the prophets I send them said shut off

Why do you get honor? It's because you're recognized for something good you did. You know you get
		

			honored on the completion of your degree in the ceremony of convocation.
		

			You get honored in your workplace with a pay raise, you get honored in this dunya an asset or by
Allah by being made a person who's able to pray to Allah at night. And therefore that kind of tells
you right now are you from the honored or dishonored? Are you from the elite or the debased? Are you
from the people whom Allah has blessed are you from the people more law turned away? And some of us
I know some who are listening to this, you're young, but this is the time for you to say, Listen, I
