قيام الليل عبادة تصل القلب بالله عزوجل، في وقت هدأت فيه الأصوات، ونامت العيون، وتقلب النُوّم على الفرش .
Qiyam al-Layl is an act of worship that connects the heart to Allah Almighty during a time when sounds have subsided, eyes are closed, and those asleep turn on their beds
قال أبو الدرداء رضي الله عنه: صلوا ركعتين في ظلم الليل لظلمة القبور .
Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
"Pray two units of prayer in the darkness of the night for the darkness of the graves."

Muhammad ibn Yusuf said:
Sufyan al-Thawri would wake us up at night and say: "Get up, young men, and pray while you are still young.
If you don't pray today, then when?"

خطبة الجمعة قال فيها الشيخ:
تفاءلوا فكلُّ بَلاءٍ دونَ النّارِ عافية، وكُلُّ ضيقٍ دونَ القَبْرِ سَعَةٍ، وكُلُّ ذَنْبٍ دونَ الشِّرْكِ مَغْفُورٍ، حَتَّى لَوْ لَم تَرَ جَمالَ المصائب، فكلُّ ما قَدَّرَهُ الجَليلُ هُوَ جميل.
“Be optimistic, for every affliction less than Hellfire is well-being, and every hardship less than the grave is ease, and every sin short of shirk (associating partners with Allah) is forgivable. Even if you do not see the beauty in tribulations, know that everything decreed by the Most Glorious is beautiful.”

كم من غايةٍ بعيدة و أمنيةٍ عزيزة .. قرّبها الدُعاء!
"How many distant goals and cherished wishes were brought closer by prayer!!"
"How many distant goals and cherished wishes were brought closer by prayer!!"

Etiquette of Quran Recitation
The person reciting the Holy Qur’an should sit for recitation in a state of complete purity, with clean clothes, perfumed, having used the miswak, calm, humble, and modest.
He should be mindful of the greatness of Allah Almighty, reflect deeply on the meanings of the Qur’an, and be emotionally affected by its verses and rulings. As Allah says:
“The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts tremble, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith, and upon their Lord they rely.” [Al-Anfal: 2]
The Qur’an reciter should also exemplify good manners, dignity, and respect.
He should recite the Qur’an in a measured and melodious manner (with tarteel and tajweed), giving each letter its due right and characteristics—such as correct pronunciation, articulation points, elongations (madd), nasalizations (ghunnah), and other rules of tajweed—hoping for Allah’s acceptance of his recitation and seeking His Paradise and pleasure.

"مَن كانتِ الدُّنيا هَمهُ ، فَرَّقَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمرَهُ ، وجعل فقره بين عينيه ، ولم يأتِه من الدنيا إلا ما ستار و كتب له
"Whoever makes the world (this life) his concern, Allah will scatter his affairs, place poverty before his eyes, and he will not obtain from the world except what has been decreed for him.
ومن كانت الآخرة نيته ، جمعَ اللهُ لَهُ لَهُ ن جمع أمرَهُ ، وجعلَ غِناه في قلبه ، وأنتهُ الدُّنيا وَهِيَ راغمة"
But whoever makes the Hereafter his intention, Allah will gather his affairs, place richness in his heart, and the world will come to him submissively.”
- صحيح ابن ماجه

What's meant for you will always find its way to you.
وَعَسَى أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَى أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Life is too precious to waste on sadness over what's beyond your control.
آمن بقضاء الله وقدره
and you'll find peace and happiness.

Who are the People of the Qur'an and its Bearers?
Among the sayings that gladden the heart of a believer is the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying:
"Indeed, Allah has His own people among mankind."
They asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who are they?"
He replied: "They are the people of the Qur’an — the people of Allah and His chosen ones."
So, who are the people of Allah and His special ones?
His saying: (Ahlīn)— meaning "people"— refers to family or close associates. The "people" in this context are the allies and beloved ones.
Thus, the people of the Qur'an are those uniquely attached to it.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said, in the context of discussing whether it's better to recite the Qur’an slowly with reflection or quickly with more quantity:
"Therefore, the people of the Qur’an are those who have knowledge of it and act upon what it contains, even if they do not memorize it by heart. As for the one who memorizes it but does not understand or act upon it, then he is not from its people — even if he perfectly recites its letters like an arrow hitting its mark."

«الرابحُ من أفنى عمره مع القرآن؛ طالبًا وتاليًا ومُعلِّمًا».
"The true winner is the one who spends their life with the Qur'an — as a seeker, a reciter, and a teacher."
ما عذَّبَ الرحمـٰنُ مَن يستغفرُ
The Most Merciful does not torment the one who seeks forgiveness
ولسانُـه بالذكرِ مِسْـكٌ أطهَـرُ
And whose tongue, with the remembrance, is purer than musk
فاستغفروا إنَّ الذنوبَ مُمِيتَـةٌ
So seek forgiveness—for sins are deadly (to the heart)
والآيُ ذكرى للذي يستبصُـرُ
And the verses are a reminder for the one who seeks insight

And they used to encourage one another during hardships.
إنما هي أيام قلائل، والموعد الجنة.
Indeed, it is only a few short days — and the promised meeting is in Paradise.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ،
أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ،
أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الغَيْبِ عِندَكَ،
أَنْ تَجْعَلَ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي،
اللَّهُمَّ ذَكِّرْنِي مِنْهُ مَا نَسِيتُ، وَعَلِّمْنِي مِنْهُ مَا جَهِلْتُ، وَارْزُقْنِي تِلَاوَتَهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَأَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ، وَاجْعَلْهُ لِي حُجَّةً يَا رَبَّ العَالَمِينَ.

O Allah, I am Your servant, the son of Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is ever executed, and Your decree over me is just.
I ask You by every name belonging to You, which You have named Yourself with, revealed in Your Book, taught to any of Your creation, or kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen with You, to make the Qur’an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the remover of my sadness, and the reliever of my distress.
O Allah, remind me of what I have forgotten from it, teach me from it what I am ignorant of, grant me its recitation during the hours of the night and the ends of the day, and make it an argument in my favour, O Lord of the Worlds.
