Dhikr or remembering Allah by praising Him is important to do for every Muslim. Some of them believe that by doing it they may get some blessing from Allah. Doing it after regular prayer is better than nothing at all.
Yet, some Muslims believe that doing Dhikr after Tahajjud will bring more benefits. They also believe this about the night prayer. They believe that Allah is closer to them during their night prayer on Tahajjud. They think of the Dhikr as a more solemn occasion.
Speaking of the benefits of Dhikr after Tahajjud, here we have some of them based on the Quran. They will enchant you. Check them out below!
Muslims believe by doing Tahajjud is a part of Muslim behavior that shows how good the person is. Reciting verses from the Quran or hadith during Dhikr may help someone complete that. That’s one reason why dhikr is important in Islam. Muslims can benefit from reciting Allahu Akbar 100 times.
“As for the servants of the Most Merciful God, they are people who walk the earth humbly and when ignorant people greet them (with insulting words), they say “salam,” and those who spend the night worshiping their Lord prostrating and standing.” (QS 25: 63-64)
Get a Better Place
Muslims believe that doing Tahajjud at the end of the night may get them into a better place right beside Allah. Moreover, if they praising Allah by doing Dhikr after finishing the Tahajjud prayer. May Allah give them a better place among good Muslims such as one of the benefits of Dhikr every morning.
“And on some nights, perform the extra Tahajjud (as an act of worship) prayer for yourself: hopefully your Lord will raise you to a commendable place.” (QS 17:79)
Get Mercy from Allah
Some Muslims believe that praying after their Tahajjud prayer can be more solemn. That makes some of them seek mercy from Allah, whether for their past or present, whether done on purpose or not.
That makes some Muslims praise Allah by Dhikr. They recite forgiveness verses from the Quran. Such as mentions in the Quran surah Al Qasas verse 16 below:
“He (Moses) prayed, “O my Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me.” So He (Allah) forgave him. Indeed, Allah, He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.” (QS 28:16)
Good for Mental Health
Muslims believe that praising Allah will make them calmer. They think this will improve their mental health. That applies in your Dhikr after your finish the Tahajjud prayer at a third of the end of the night.
Some Muslims admit that they praise Allah. They do this by reciting verses in their Dhikr. They do this to stay healthy.
Such as mentions in the Quran surah Al Isra verse 82 below:
“And We send down from the Qur’an (something) which is an antidote and a mercy for those who believe, while for those who do wrong (the Qur’an) it will only increase losses.” (QS 17:82)
Giving a Good Protection
Muslims believe as they always remember Allah so that Allah will remember them. Doing the Dhikr after Tahajjud prayer can be one of the most important things. It may help them get protection from Allah in everything they face in daily life. This is one of the benefits of learning Al Quran.
Such as mentions on the Quran surah Al Anbiya verses 87-88 below:
“And (remember the story of) Zun Nun (Yunus), when he left angry, then he thought that We would not make it difficult for him, so he prayed in a very dark state, “There is no god but You, Glory to You. Indeed, I am of the wrongdoers.” So We accepted his (prayer) and We saved him from grief. And thus We save those who believe.” (QS 21: 87-88)
Avoid Going Astray
For every Muslim, going astray is the most horrifying thing. They better avoid it. They know better than Allah hates the most to them who going astray. Doing Dhikr after Tahajjud prayer at a third of the end of the night can protect you from going astray. This is like the benefits of learning Asmaul Husna.
Such as mentions in the Quran surah Az Zumar verse 23 below:
“Allah has sent down the best (i.e.) a similar Qur’an (verses) over and over again, reminding those who fear their Lord, then be calm and careful when remembering Allah. That is Allah’s guidance, with that Book He guides whomever He wills. And whoever is left astray by Allah, then no one can guide.” (QS 39:23)
Stronger faith and closeness to God
Dhikr helps nurture one’s faith, spirituality, and relationship with God. Taking time to remember and praise God after tahajjud solidifies and strengthens one’s beliefs.
Such as mentions in the Quran surah Muzzammil verse 1-4 below:
“O you who wraps himself [in clothing], arise [to pray] the night, except for a little – half of it – or subtract from it a little or add to it, and recite the Qur’an with measured recitation” (Quran 73:1-4).
