Seeking The Night

It is recommended to seek the night and spend it diligently in devotion, including night Sunnah prayers (Tahajjud), recitation of Al-Qur'an and supplications.

In a hadith related by Abu Hurairah (raa), the Messenger of Allah (saas) said:



Allah is emphasizing by putting the second verse in question form. The answer being no one knows, or compre­hends, the awesomeness and the depth of honor of the night. As if to say whatever merits Allah informs you about the night is just nothing compared to the things you have no idea about.


1. “The Night is better than a thousand months.”

2. “Therein, come down the angels...”, and

3. “Peace!”
