The Importance of Tahajjud, Valuing Deen, and Unwavering Adherence to the Sunnah

Tahajjud Salah is an emphasized Sunnah that Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) never abandoned, whether resident or traveling.
The last portion of the night is the spiritual "golden hour" offering blessings and closeness to Allah that cannot be achieved at any other time.
If short summer nights make waking up difficult, reading a few rak'ats of Salatul Layl after Isha ensures one earns the thawab of night prayer, though striving for the last portion of the night remains ideal.
Historical respect for Muslims stemmed from their intense devotion and value for Deen over dunya; modern degradation occurs because Muslims themselves trivialize their faith while obsessing over worldly matters.
True defense of Islam against disrespect and fitnah comes from strengthening our individual practice of Fardh, Wajib, and Sunnah acts.

Hadith describing how Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) distributed his night rest and worship across different portions of the night.
