Qiyam Al-Layl

فضل صلاة قيام اللّيل The Virtue of Night Prayer (Qiyām al-Layl) الذين يحافظون عليها هم مُحسنونَ مُستحقّون لرحمة الله وجنّته، فقد مدحهم اللهﷻ وعدَّهم في جملة عباده الأبرار. Those who regularly observe it are among the doers of good, deserving of Allah’s mercy and His Paradise. Allah ﷻ praised them and counted them among His righteous servants. { إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ (16) كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ } “Indeed, they used to be, before that, doers of good. They used to sleep but little of the night.” يعني قليلا ما يناموا من أجل الصلاة والعبادة والاجتهاد فى طاعة اللهﷻ Meaning: they would sleep only a little, dedicating the rest of the night to prayer, worship, and striving in obedience to Allah ﷻ. وقال - عزَّ وَجَل -: «وَالَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَقِيَامًا» And He, the Almighty, said: “And those who spend [part of] the night to their Lord prostrating and standing [in prayer].” قال النبي ﷺ: “أفضَلُ الصّلاة بعد الفريضة، قيام الليل” The Prophet ﷺ said: “The best prayer after the obligatory ones is the night prayer (Qiyām al lil)
