Is Tahajjud really a Private CALL?

What is Tahajjud?

Tahajjud is midnight prayers that is said to be the most spiritually connecting prayer among all. Muslims have a high regard for Tahajjud to keep their hearts at peace. It is also known for having their wishes, possible and impossible, fulfilled. It has a lot of other benefits too for the mind and soul of a believer.

Is Tahajjud a private call for specific people?

Actually, no. It is often said that God calls only a selected number of people to prostrate before Him and grant them their heart’s desires. It is like saying God keeps favorites and doesn’t grant the rest of His people the same opportunity to prostrate before him. God treats each one of us as equals and the call for Tahajjud prayers are the same for everyone. It is US who choose not to answer to it. It is only a few who choose to sacrifice their sleep to pray to Him, thus getting their heart’s desire fulfilled. Each prayer is a private connection between us and the Almighty, and He calls all of us before Him as His favorites.

Spirituality and prayers:

While it’s true that spirituality and religion are two different concepts, it is also a possibility that prayers can be a source of connection for our souls with the Divine. There are a few ways one can connect their souls and truly feel the flow within.

  • Being present in the moment and clearing off your mind from any worldly thoughts, desires, and troubles.
  • Connecting your soul to the Almighty and feel its power and mercy within you so it feels less like a prayer and more like being in the presence of your Creator to soothe your heartaches.
  • Stop thinking of prayers as an obligatory task that can land you in ■■■■ if you miss it. See it as a meeting with your closest friend and actually anticipate for that beautiful moment.

Final Thoughts:

It is now safe to conclude that Tahajjud is a call for everyone. We all are special to Him, and it depends on us to answer that call or miss it. He waits for us every time the call for prayers is made.
