The Prophet's Encouragement of Night Prayers

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to wake up Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) to perform her Witr prayer.

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet used to perform his voluntary prayer at night (ie, Tahajjud prayer) while she was sleeping in front of him; and when the Witr prayer was yet to be observed, he would awaken her to perform her Witr prayer. Muslim.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of night prayers in Islam. It is narrated that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would wake up his wife Aishah bint Abu Bakr as-Siddiq to perform her witr prayer. This shows us how important it was for him that she should pray at night and how he encouraged her to do so. He also showed us that we should be consistent in our prayers and not miss any of them even if it means waking up late at night or early in the morning. We can learn from this hadith that we should strive to make time for our prayers no matter what and not let anything come between us and our relationship with Allah SWT.
