‘Amr ibn ‘Abasah raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
“The closest the servant is to the Lord is during the last depth of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah in this moment, then do so.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhī]
Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He), The Sublime and Exalted, not only created and fashioned us in the best form, He subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) constantly sustains us physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. He desires we choose the path that will lead us to Him subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He). As the Ever-Living, Ever-Sustaining Lord, He subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) perpetually oversees the flawless operation of the grand cosmos and the minutest subatomic particles. Possessing All-Hearing and All-Seeing attributes, He subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) remains ever near, prepared to answer when we call upon Him subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He), eagerly awaiting the initiation of our Divine connection and responding promptly. His subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) response is to our soul, fueling an insatiable desire for Divine proximity, propelling us to Him subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) through love, acts of service, and a craving for Divine communion. The elixir for our hungry soul is in the prayer in the depth of the night, when all of creation seems to be asleep, when lovers privately entreat with their beloveds, and when the hungry souls seek out an unadulterated connection with their Lord.
Tahajjud, the night prayer, is that sacred elixir.
