Islamic Parables - Night Worship (Tahajjud) and the States of Those Who Shed Tears

A Tale That Heals Those Facing Family Troubles

Once upon a time, there was a man named Abdullah living in a small village. Abdullah worked during the day and approached the night prayer (Tahajjud) with great devotion. Every night, alone in the darkness, he would pray with the sorrow of being in solitude with his Creator, shedding tears as he expressed his condition. One night, he heard the desperate cries of a neighbor who wanted to commit suicide. At that moment, Abdullah’s commitment to his Tahajjud prayer took on a new dimension. He immediately rushed to his side and prayed with tears. His tears were a balm not only for his own troubles but also for those of his neighbor. During the night worship, Abdullah fervently implored the Exalted Allah, and this situation became a turning point for him. That night, not only he but also his neighbor found salvation. By placing the wisdom of Tahajjud at the center of his life, he purified his own soul and touched the lives of those around him. Over time, the villagers began to talk about Abdullah’s prayers at night. Abdullah transformed his tears into a means of solace, which became a perpetual act of worship for him.
