There is a time in the night when the world goes quiet.

The distractions fade. The noise disappears. And most people are asleep.

But there are believers that rise.

In this powerful Islamic reminder, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan speaks about the night prayer, qiyam al-layl, tahajjud, and the secret strength Allah places in the hearts of those who leave their beds for Him.

The night prayer is not just another act of worship.

It is a sign of sincerity. A moment of closeness. A private conversation between the servant and their Rabb. It is where iman is strengthened, sins are washed away, du’a is poured out, tears become worship, and the heart learns to depend on Allah alone.

Allah tells us in the Qur’an to rise in the night for prayer, as an extra act of worship, so that He may raise His servant to a station of praise.

And the Prophet ﷺ taught us that the best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer.

This is the worship of those who want more than routine Islam.

It is for the one seeking khushu, taqwa, sabr, yaqeen, ikhlas, forgiveness, barakah, guidance, and nearness to Allah. It is for the believer who knows that strength is not built only in public, but in the hidden moments no one sees.

In the last part of the night, when du’a is made and forgiveness is sought, the servant turns back to Allah with a heart that is tired of the dunya and hungry for the Akhirah. The Prophet ﷺ described this time as a time when Allah calls His servants to ask from Him, seek His forgiveness, and make du’a.

So rise, even if it is only for two rak’ahs.

Make wudu. Stand before Allah. Ask. Repent. Remember your Rabb while others sleep.

May Allah make us from the people of qiyam al-layl, grant us khushu in salah, sincerity in worship, firmness upon the Sunnah, and hearts that find peace in remembering Him.

Full Quran (Calming recitation by Mishary Rashid Alafasy Part 3 of 3)

Please see part 1 and 2 first. We could not upload the entire Quran into a single episode as it exceeds the length allowed for podcast. So we uploaded the audio into 3 parts.

So much of this life depends on how you see it.

The dunya can either become a distraction that pulls you away from Allah, or a test that wakes you up and brings you back to Him. The difference is not information alone. It is iman. It is the light Allah places in the heart when a person holds firmly to the Qur’an, protects their salah, remembers Allah, and chooses obedience even when the nafs is pulling them somewhere else.

In this powerful Islamic reminder, Osama Alshurafa reflects on the illusion of time, the reality of dunya, and the way a believer’s perspective changes when Allah becomes the centre of their life.

When your iman is weak, the dunya feels heavy.

Every problem feels bigger. Every delay feels painful. Every negative thought feels like the truth. But when your connection to Allah becomes stronger, your vision changes. You begin to see your life through tawheed, sabr, shukr, tawakkul, and yaqeen.

You stop letting every thought define you.

Not every thought deserves your attention. Not every whisper is yours. Not every fear, doubt, or intrusive thought should become part of your identity. Islam teaches us to recognise the whispers of Shaytan, the pull of the nafs, and the traps of ghaflah. We do not have to obey them. We do not have to internalise them. We return to Allah through dhikr, Qur’an, salah, du’a, istighfar, and sincere action.

This reminder is about changing how you see the world so you can change how you live in it.

Strengthen your iman. Guard your Fajr. Pray on time. Recite the Qur’an. Make dhikr. Stand in tahajjud when others are asleep. Choose righteous conduct. Call others toward the deen with wisdom. Be patient with what Allah has written for you.

Time is passing.

The Akhirah is coming.

And the believer cannot afford to live distracted.

May Allah fill our hearts with iman, protect us from the whispers of Shaytan, cleanse us from the diseases of the heart, and make us from those who remember Him in ease and hardship.
