Open and close your eyes!
By: Mohammad Hossein Qadami
Once we were together with Mr.Rajaee. He gave us special recommendation about the importance of night prayer (Salat-ul-Lail) and told us:”? even if you feel tired to perform night prayer, you can reduce its “Rak’ats”?(prayer unit).But make sure that, tiredness does not prevent you of performing minimum (2 Rak’ats).”?
Than he added:”? Again, if you feel that you are too tired to pray in standing position, you can pray in sitting position and if it is not possible, try to keep your ablution and say some simple religious recitals in rest position. Again if you can not do these determine to wake up for the sake of Allah; just open and close your eyes for the sake of Allah.”? He was so persistent for night prayers!
