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

The Tranquility That Comes with Tahajjud for the Impatient

Another story is about a woman named Aisha. Aisha has a farewell hour that she has created solely for herself in the arms of darkness every night. One evening, while sitting alone at home, as the sound of the storm outside enveloped the entire village, she began to pray under the influence of the darkness in her soul. During the night worship, her tears began to flow like a flood. While writhing with her emotions, she suddenly received the news that the child of her closest acquaintance, Amina, was ill. Aisha immediately began to pray; in the tranquility of the night, she sought refuge in her Lord against the fury of the storm. Her prayers and tears became a source of healing not only for herself but also for her neighbor. A few days later, Amina's child knocked on Aisha's door, recovered from the illness. This event created a transformation in Aisha's little heart. The Tahajjud worship became an indispensable part of her life. This vital experience amidst the darkness changed both herself and those around her.
