Tahajjud refers to the voluntary night prayer performed by Muslims. It is observed after Isha (the obligatory night prayer) and before Fajr (the obligatory dawn prayer), ideally after a period of sleep. It is a practice considered highly virtuous within the Islamic tradition.
This nocturnal devotion holds significant importance. It is regarded as a means of spiritual elevation, increased closeness to the Divine, and the attainment of divine blessings. Historically, the practice has been associated with prophets and pious individuals, who exemplified dedication and devotion through consistent nightly worship.
