39. Dua for Forgiveness at Tahajjud Time
Daily DuasProtectionIslamic PrayerCategory 3
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: "Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?" [1]
Praising those who ask forgiveness on the last night, Allah says -
كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ ﴿١٧﴾ وَبِالْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ﴿١٨﴾
Translation
(17) They used to sleep but little of the night, (18) And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness. [2]
