Ramadhan Thought - 15
Tahajud prayers are prayed in the darkness of night, after waking up.
The minimum rakahs are 2 and maximum is 12.
"Every night, when the last third of it remains, Allah, our Sustainer, the Blessed, the Superior, descends to the lowest heaven saying,
'Is there anyone to ask Me so that I may grant him his request?
Is there anyone to invoke Me so that I may respond to his invocation?
Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness so that I may forgive him?'"
(Narrated by Imam Muslim)
