Tahajud is a sunnah prayer that is done after sleeping in the last third of the night. There is no limit to praying the midnight prayer, but at least two cycles. The primacy of the midnight prayer is believed to be able to increase the degree or position of the person performing it. This is explained in the letter of Al-Isra verse 79: وَمِنَ الَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهٖ نَافِلَةً لَّكَۖ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَّبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مََ امًا مَّحْمُوْدًا Meaning: “And on some nights, do the midnight prayer as an additional worship for you; may your Lord raise you to a commendable place.” For Migrant Friends who are living a life full of challenges in an overseas country, the Tahajud prayer can be used as a suggestion to pour out your heart (confine) ...

Pain is one of the trials or disasters that can befall anyone. As a Muslim, we are encouraged to visit each other and pray for people who are sick. Visiting and offering prayers to the sick is a form of support and concern that we can do. Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi narrated that the Apostle recommended reading the following prayer seven times in the presence of sick people. The prayer is: أَسْأَلُ اللهَ العَظِيْمَ رَبَ العَرْشِ العَظِيْمِ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكَ “As'alullāhal azhīma rabbal 'arsyil 'azhīmi an yassfiyak.” Meaning: I beg the great Allah, the Lord of the majestic Throne to heal you.

DDHK.ORG – Many Indonesian migrant workers go to work in Hong Kong to escape the economic problems that plague their families. But unfortunately, instead of achieving prosperity in overseas countries, some of them are in debt up to tens of thousands of dollars. After all, debt is a responsibility that must be settled while living on earth. Ignoring debt payments risks burdening a servant's burden in the hereafter. No matter how heavy the debt is, it must be paid off in the world. Rasulullah SAW suggested, for people who are in debt to read the following prayer: اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِني لالِكَ امِكَ لِكَ اكَ [Allâhumma-kfinî bihalâlika 'an haramika wa aghninâ bi fadl-lika 'am man...

DDHK.ORG – A friend complained to the Prophet Muhammad regarding the debt he suffered. "Why not practice Sayyidul Istighfar?" said the Prophet. The Prophet also advised his companions to read the following tasbih and istighfar, every time between sunrise and Fajr prayer, 100 times. انَ اللهِ انَ اللهِ العَظِيْمِ اللهَ Subhanallâhi wa bi hamdih, subhanallâhil 'azhim, astaghfirullâh. It means, “Glory be to Allah and all praise be to Him. Glory be to Allah the Most Great. I ask Allah for forgiveness,” (See Sayyid Muhammad bin Alwi bin Abbas Al-Maliki, Ma Dza fi Sha'ban, 1424 H, page 63). Wallahu a'lam. (Source: NU Online)

He said that Allah is most just..but why when I need justice he never answers my prayers.. I pray a lot, even pray to ask and cry ma Allah.. but why is Allah just silent..? But look at my friends who don't pray, they live happily and always say that every time they pray, what is justice called? Why is my prayer not being answered?

However, also remember the "tadzkirah" of the Messenger of Allah so that we are patient and... READ MORE

"Fortify (protect the blessing) of your wealth with zakat, treat the sick with charity, and prepare prayers to face (avoid) the coming disaster" (HR. Ath-Thabrani). Take out zakat on wealth to fortify or protect the blessings of wealth. Those who often lose their property, theft or "robbery", could be because their wealth is not issued zakat. Give charity to cure disease. Alms, giving, will bring gifts from Allah. Alms can be intended to cure disease. Prayer is the only thing that can resist disaster, that is praying to Allah to avoid disaster. With the power and will of Allah, disaster will not occur. So, pray often to be safe in this world and the hereafter. Wallahu a'lam. (ed/localhost/project/personal/ddhongkong.org/ddhongkong.org).*
