فضائل صلاة التهجد وتأثيرها في حياة المسلم في ضوء الصحيحين

Virtues of Tahajjud Prayer and its impact on Muslim’s life in the Light of the Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim

Abstract

This study explores the virtues of Ṣalāt al-Tahajjud and its multidimensional impact on the life of a Muslim, as evidenced in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. Tahajjud, as one of the most significant voluntary acts of worship, occupies a central position in Islamic spiritual and moral development. The research adopts an analytical and inductive methodology by examining authentic prophetic traditions related to night prayer and evaluating their theological, educational, psychological, and social implications.

The study demonstrates that Tahajjud serves as a powerful means of spiritual purification (tazkiyat al-nafs), strengthening faith, self-discipline, and moral integrity. The consistent practice of night prayer fosters sincerity, patience, and emotional stability, enabling individuals to cope with life’s challenges while maintaining ethical conduct. Furthermore, the research highlights that the emphasis placed on Tahajjud in the two authentic collections underscores its role not only as a personal devotional act but also as a foundational tool for individual reform that contributes to social harmony and moral consciousness.

The findings suggest that reviving the practice of Tahajjud in contemporary Muslim societies can play a vital role in addressing spiritual decline, psychological stress, and ethical challenges. The study concludes that Tahajjud represents a comprehensive reformative system that nurtures balanced Muslim personalities, rooted in devotion and social responsibility.
