Prayer, Sleep and Avoiding Late Nights After Isha

Almighty Allah has given you 12 hours in the day, 10 hours to work at a lawful job. to earn your daily bread.

But set aside one hour of those hours for Me, that is, 60 minutes for the five prayers.

So no one has any excuse to say, “I got busy, so I didn’t pray at the mosque with the congregation.”

That’s one thing. The second thing: There should be no staying up late after the night prayer.

You must pray the night prayer at the mosque, then go home.

If it’s your habit to have dinner, have dinner, cover your head, and go to sleep.

If you do that, I guarantee you won’t miss the dawn prayer.

Pray it at six or seven, before sunrise.

But people’s great misfortune today is that they’ve been tempted by the world and its ornaments, especially in the present age, especially by this great calamity that has entered Muslim homes, namely, television.

Having a television today is among the gravest prohibitions, if only you knew.

And Almighty Allah created man in the finest form and with the best natural capacity.

He is capable of working during the day.

He is capable of sleeping at night. If he disrupts this divine cosmic order, life will become unsettled for him.

If he works until midnight, that means he’s deprived himself of hours of rest and sleep.

When will he make up those hours? At the expense of the Fajr prayer and the noon prayer.

That’s why the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) forbade sleeping before the Isha prayer and staying up late afterward.
