The best prayer after the fard

Thursday, October 12, 2023

أَفْضَلُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ
Transliteration

Afdalu-s-salati ba'da-l-faridati salatu-l-layl.

Translation

The best prayer after the obligatory is the night prayer.

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah·Sahih Muslim 1163
Reflection

When the house is quiet, two rak'ahs are disproportionately heavy. Tahajjud is where the saints got made.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
