1. PerformTahajjud Prayer
Tahajjud prayer is considered the most
significant prayer after the fardhu prayer. Allah The Almighty increase the
rank of the person who wakes up at the middle of the night and perform
tahajjud.
“And pray in the small watches of the morning: (it would be) an
additional prayer (or spiritual profit) for thee: soon will thy Lord raise thee
to a Station of Praise and Glory!”
(Al-Israa': 79)
By performing tahajjud prayer,
one gets to become closer to Allah and Allah will love him more just like the
Prophet. It can be done whether, 2, 4, 8, and not restricted to any rakaat and
better to be done at home rather than in the mosque and must be ended with a 3
rakaat withir prayer.
And they who pass the night prostrating themselves before their Lord and
standing.(Al-Furqan 25:64)
Last but not least, tahajjud prayer is
most beneficial and being practised by the Prophet regularly in accordance to
the hadith narrated by Salman Al-Farsi.
“Observe the night
Prayer; it was the practice of the righteous before you and it brings you
closer to your Lord and it is penance for evil deeds and erases the sins and
repels disease from the body.” (At-Tabarani)
2. Read and learn Al-Quran
Reading the Qur'an before sunrise before the eyes get to see the world
would be good; however it should consider reading the Qur'an with understanding
in advance. Quran should be learnt systematically, and knowing its meaning and
content will lead to better comprehension that may lead to the possession of wisdom.
” Those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace, -
of the posterity of Adam, and of those who We carried (in the Ark) with Noah,
and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose.
Whenever the Signs of ((Allah)) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they
would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears.” (Maryam:58)
Therefore, as a true Muslim, Al-Quran is not just to be read but
as well to be understood, memorised and practised in everyday life as it
contains all the teaching of Islam. Al-Quran also reacts as the guidance to all
Muslims hence it contains wisdom thus by understanding it, we can really
practise what is said in the Holy Book. 'Uthman bin 'Affan (May Allah be
pleased with him) also reported:
The Messenger of Allah said, "The best amongst you is the one who
learns the Qur'an and teaches it.
3. Pray Subuh prayer congregationally at mosque
Subuh prayer is the main prayer
as it was the first prayer that was fixed to two rakaat since the very
beginning. The calls for prayer (adhan) for Subuh also different from other
adhans to show the importance of this prayer. Hence, it is crucial to pray
Subuh prayer congregationally as it is the hardest things to do. Therefore, The
Messenger of Allah SAW laid great
emphasis on the sunnah prayer of Fajr, saying,
"It is more superior than the world and everything within it."
(Sahih Muslim 1:151)
"When you are with them, and stand to lead them in salat, Let one
party of them stand up (in salaf) with you. Taking their arms with them: When
they finish their prostrations, let them take their position in the rear, and
let the other party come up which has not yet established salat- and let them
establish salat with you."(An-Nisa': 102)
4. Perform Dhuha prayer
Dhuha prayer is an act of Sunnah
(reported from the Prophet) and its minimum is two Rak`ahs and it has no
maximum limit. However, it is preferable not to exceed eight Rakaat and to say
Taslim after each pair of Rak`ahs. It is said in a hadith,
"Who did 2 rakaats of Dhuha prayer - he will not be included in
a group of people who forget. Who did 4 rakaats of Dhuha prayer - he is
included in a group of people who worship Allah without doubt. Who pray Dhuha 6
rakaats- on that day all their needs are going to be fulfilled by Allah. Who
pray Dhuha 8 rakaats - then Allah Almighty acknowledged him to belong to a
group that prostrate and spend time to worship Allah. And, who does 12 rakaats
Dhuha prayer - then Allah Almighty grant him a beautiful castle in paradise.
There will not be in a day and night except Allah bestows boons to his servant
"(Narrated by Tabarani and Abu Dawud).
Dhuha prayer is also related to other
excellence. Ahmad, Muslim, and Abu Dawud narrated that,
Abu Zharr reports that the Prophet sallallahu aleihi wasallam said:
"Charity is required from every part of your body daily. Every saying of
'Glory be to Allah' is charity. Every saying of 'Praise be to Allah' is
charity. Every saying of 'There is no God but Allah' is charity. Every saying of
'Allah is the Greatest' is charity. Ordering the good is charity. Eradicating
the evil is charity. And what suffices for that (as a charity) are the two
rak'at of duha."
5. Do dzikir all the time
By saying the dzikir all the time,
Allah will take away our worries and problems. By doing dzikr, we seek
forgiveness from Allah and ask for mercy from Allah as well as to protect us
from mischievous. By means, to say dzikr is to remember Allah as Allah said in
the Al-Quran,
“Then do ye remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and
reject not Faith.” (Baqarah : 152)
