Door to Jannah

Epilogue

"Allah created both night and day, if its dark in your life right now, be patient. The sun always rises. And if its light right now, be thankful. But know the sun must also set. Praise your maker for both the night and the day and know that he never sets."

*Few years later*

The alarm went off for tahajjud and the couple was deep in slumber because of disturbance during the night.

"Wake up Ayesha." A heavy voice sounded from under the blanket.

"You wake up first Ahmad." A sleepy voice shoot back.

"You take longer time." He said giving a push to her and she uttered a hmm sound tangling her hand into his to give her five minutes more and slept again.

The alarms went off one after another but it seemed that the couple was really tired of something.

"Ayesha wake up, only fifteen minutes are left." Ahmad exclaimed sitting up trying to get off his wife's grip.

He recited the dua for waking up and read the last ten ayahs of surah All Imran as per sunnah. It's been years since they practised these sunnah so it was obvious that they have memorised it by reading it daily at tahajjud. Looking at his wife in deep slumber, he smirked. It was time to again fulfil the ahadith about waking up your spouse at tahajjud. He sprinkled drops of water at her wife and she twitched her lips in annoyance and then her eyes flew open.

"How much time is left?" She asked sitting abruptly.

"Calm down there is enough time. Don't panic it's not good for you." He said rubbing her back.

"Go do wudu and siwak till then I'll check up the kids." He said leaving the room.

The girl after reciting the duas picked up her lazy body from the bed just for the sake of Allah and went to freshen up. As she was doing siwak her beloved hubby appeared with smiling face.

"They are soundly sleeping." He said picking up the miswak from the opposite side.

"Ayeshaaaa." Ahmad took her name stressing at the last part of her name and she gestured what?

"You are again brushing from my miswak." He exclaimed glancing at his own miswak which was in her mouth.

"Eww." She said pulling it out of her mouth and examining it thoroughly.

"That's why I say that you should wake up first." She uttered.

They hurried to offer their salah at the time of fajr was not far than ten minutes. He lead her to the tahajjud prayer and this was the best time spent together of the couple during the day, in the remembrance of their lord. The fajr soon arrived and Ahmad went to masjid to pray in congregation.

How can someone leave the fajr prayer in congregation when they know its virtues?
Al-Tirmidhi (223) and Ibn Maajah (781) narrated from Buraydah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Give glad tidings to those who walk to the mosques in the dark, of perfect light on the Day of Resurrection." Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb.

Ahmad came back from masjid and found her wife still sitting on the prayer mat with Qur'an on her hand.

"Done with the revision?" He asked and she turned her face with a smile.
It was her turn today to recite him some surah among the surah's which they have memorised together. Turn by turn they recite to each other so that the shaytan doesn't make them forget the words of their most beloved Allah.
