..The devotion at night and its timing and its duration
Allah’s peace, mercy and His blessing be upon you, and peace be upon the messengers, and praise be to Allah the Lord of the worlds..
My questioning brother, Allah does not get bored until you get weary, so as much as your effort stay-up your night surely Allah does not get bored until you get weary, and your solitary with your Lord is surely the firmest way to tread and most effective in speech. Because the sincere worshipers of the Lord do not like to cry between the hands of Allah and someone is hearing and seeing them, in fact you see them they hold back the tears in their eyes into their solitary with their Lord, so he enjoyes in crying between the hands of his Lord of what he knew of the Truth, so if you got tired and got bored then have enough from rising surely there is no known appointed time, thus you find it in the Book not known in order it does not become imposed, so if you willed half of it, or lessen of it a little, or add to it, in fact it is voluntary of whom they love Allah seeking the nearness to their Lord, but whom they spread the statements of the Awaited Mahdi by day and night is greater with Allah, that’s because in that a rescue and guidance for the nation, so do not get weak nor rest of spreading and delivering (the message) O community of the best foremost supporters, by Allah I do not find better word speaks of it a tongue or writes it the fingers is better than the call to the All Merciful. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{And who is better in word than one who called to Allah and did good, and says: I am surely of the Muslims (who submit)?}Truthful Allah the Great [Fussilat] 41:33
{وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِمَّنْ دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ} صدق الله العظيم [فصلت:33].
In a sense that there is no better word than it, so when you are free from the call to Allah, devote your time to the labor of worship to your Lord at the quietness of the night, and the free-gift (voluntary prayer) of the night is surely the firmest way in controlling the self and most effective in speech. And race to the good deeds, and compete to your Lord hoping and fearing, and be humble for Allah, and forgive who wronged you and give who gave you and who deprived you and do good to who did good to you and to who harmed you, and when the ignorant speaks to you say Allah’s peace be upon you and may Allah pardon you surely we do not seek to be of the ignorant ones, and restrain your anger and pardon the people; Allah loves you, and be of the doers of good (to others). And humble yourselves to the poor one of you so do not degrade them, and be kind to the needy, and whoever had mercy for the people Allah had mercy for him, the Most Merciful than all who have mercy, and who humbled himself to the needy and the distressed ones so make them feel the respect as an entity and that they are respectable people; Allah would raise his level, and do not covet by which Allah has made some of you excel others, and ask Allah of His grace, and compete with money upon Allah’s love and the nearness to Him and it is better than what they collect and hide then do not find what they hid. As for who spent (wealth) seeking Allah’s pleasure for the strengthening out of themselves; they will find it with Allah better and greater in reward, and let every soul consider that which it sends forth for tomorrow, and keep your duty to Allah, and Allah teaches you, and Allah is All Knowing about everything, and ask His forgiveness indeed He is the All Forgiver the Most Merciful. Be kind to your parents, surely they are most of the people who have rights from you, and say my Lord have mercy on them as they raised me young, and do not harm your neighbors and whoever harms his neighbor he has no connection with Allah in a thing. Indeed, the Muslim is whom the people were safe from his evil and his harm, and treat the disbeliever by the relation of religion between the believers in order to manifest for him what your religion commands you with the well morals, and be ready for the day of meeting Allah, the day of your departure from this world’s life to Him, surely that day is the day of meeting Him, so let him be prepared; who is hoping to meet his Lord, so let him do a righteous deed and not associate anyone (in the service) of worshiping his Lord.
And peace be upon the messengers, and praise be to Allah Lord of the worlds..
Your brother the Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni
