Those who pray in the night will be allowed to enter paradise

Those who pray in the night will be allowed to enter paradise without any reckoning Those who offer Salaat Ut Tahajjud savor the proximity of Almighty Allah. They are counted among the beloveds of Almighty Allah. The result of their worshipping Allah far from the eyes of the people will be that on the Day of Judgment,
they will be called before one and all and will be given the glad tidings that they are to enter paradise without any reckoning, as given in this Hadith: Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Asma bint Yazeed (May Allah be well pleased with them) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: On the Day of Judgment, people will be gathered in a plain. Then a caller will call out: Where are those people whose flanks were away from their beds. They will all get up and they will be small number. They will be entered into paradise without any reckoning. Then the command will be given for reckoning of all people. (Shua’bul Iman, Hadith No. 3097) Palaces in paradise for those pray and worship in the night Those who sacrifice their comfort and sleep and stand up in worship before the Lord Almighty are apparently hard-pressed in this world. Their feet swell up because of standing for long times. Their eyes long for blissful sleep and yet these persons strive hard to grant the divine vision of the Lord Almighty to their eyes. As these great people didn’t accept the temporary comforts of the material world, they are given glad tidings of the bounties of the hereafter. These people didn’t care for the ease of this world, the opulence of high-rise mansions couldn’t enchant them, modern marvels of luxury couldn’t dissuade them from spending their nights in worship of Allah Most High. In lieu of all this, they will be given pure, transparent palaces in paradise. The material used in their construction can be seen from the walls and the roof, as if the palaces are made of glass, the way glass buildings are liked in these days also. Thus, in paradise one will be rewarded with such bounties that one desires. There is a Hadith in Sahih Ibn Hibbaan in this regard: Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abu Malik Ash’ari (May Allah be well pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: There are such palaces in paradise that their exterior is visible from the interior and their interior is visible from the exterior. Almighty Allah has readied those palaces for those people who fed others, spread (the greeting of) Salaam and offered Salaat at the time when others were sleeping. (Sahih Ibn Hibbaan, Hadith No. 510) By virtue of its generality, this Hadith includes, apart from those who feed others and spread Salaam, every person who sacrifices sleep to spend the night in prayer and worship, be it for a single night only. That one night can be Shab Meraj as well. this shows that those who spend the night of Sahih Muslim in worship also will be rewarded with mansions in paradise. Spending the night in worship – Custom of the pious It is the custom of the pious to spend the night in worship. By worshipping Almighty Allah in the night, one tires of sins and through its blessings, those who do so will be cured of bodily ailments as well. As mentioned in this Hadith: Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Bilal (May Allah be well pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: You make worship of the night compulsory for yourself! As that has been the custom of the pious folk before you. Indeed! Worship of the night is a means of attaining the closeness of Allah Most High, an expiation for sins and an effective means of driving away disease from the body. (Jame’ Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 3895; At Targheeb Wat Tarheeb, Hadith No. 557) Supererogatory Salaat of the night is superior to supererogatory Salaat of the day Sincerity and devotion are comparatively more in worship of the night when compared to worship of the day. For this reason, its excellence also has been described to be greater than the excellence of worship of the day. There is a Hadith in this regard: Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud (May Allah be well pleased with him), he says that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: The Salaat offered in the night is superior to the Salaat offered in the day the way charity given in secret is superior to charity given openly. (Mo’jam Kabeer Tabarani, Hadith No. 10229; At Targheeb Wat Tarheeb, Vol. 1, Pg. No. 429) It is also mentioned in another Hadith that after the Obligatory (Fardh) Salaat, the most excellent is the Salaat of the night: Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be well pleased with him), he says that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: After Ramadhan, the most excellent month is Muharram, the month of Allah and after Obligatory Salaat, the most excellent Salaat is the Salaat of the night. (At Targheeb Fee Fadhaail Al A’amaal Li Ibn Shaheen, Hadith No. 558)
