When you want to share your feelings with your best friend, you will surely want to talk to him in privacy, when no one else is there behind two of you. You will surely want to tell each and everything to your friend, and you will definitely need your friend listen to you carefully and sincerely. Same case apply to your and Allah's relation. Best time to talk to Him is quiet,deep and tranquility midnight. Although Allah has given us chance to talk to Him 5 times a day, but talking in midnight ( TAHAJJUD) has very beautiful feeling. As in real life you definitely give some extra time to your special friend..... That talking to your Creator in midnight is that special meeting where Allah listens you and you talk to Him, share your feelings and get releived and feeling that Allah is with you, hearing you and loving you.
There are so many narrated hadiths (Our Prophets (pbuh) sayings and deeds) about the virtue of the tahajjud prayer. One of the meanings of a hadith among them is as follows:
When one third of the night remains, every night, Our Lord, Allah, the All-Mighty says as follows till the dawn to break:
Whoever wants me something, I shall give. Whoever supplicates to me, I shall accept his/her pray. Whoever repents, I shall forgive him/her.
The narrator of that hadith Hazrath Ebu Hurayra (may Allah grant him peace) adds the following sentence:
For this reason, the companions of Our Prophet (pbuh) used to prefer performing prayer at the end of the night rather than before the night. (Ibni Mace, Ikamatus-Salat: 182).
