Tahajjud refers to a voluntary Islamic prayer performed during the night, specifically after waking up from sleep. It is not an obligatory prayer but a highly recommended act of worship in Islam. The act involves waking after having slept, performing ablution, and then offering optional prayers.
The practice holds significant importance in Islamic tradition. It is believed to strengthen the connection between the individual and the divine, offering opportunities for seeking forgiveness, expressing gratitude, and making supplications. Historically, prophets and righteous individuals have observed this nocturnal practice, emphasizing its spiritual benefits and the attainment of divine favor.
