One of the amazing things about the night time is that the night time is very special whether you're believer or not. One of the things that psychologist often discuss is that nights are usually considered a spiritual time. And this is why you see when people go out on dates and stuff like that, when do they usually go out? During the day or at night? So people are more likely to be in touch with their spiritual side.
A believer takes that spiritual time and they take that emotional time and they devote it to their Lord. And one of the things that the scholars often talk about is that the night is a testimony of a person's love. So whatever a person loves, you'll see that they usually devote their night to that. So if the person only concern in life to have fun, party and maximize pleasure, they'll spend their night trying to do that. But, if a person concern their afterlife and they totally to Allah. Then they'll spend their life about akhirah and keeps devoting their night to Allah.

We have to look at the sunnah of the Prophet and how the companions did it. And it is in that we are gonna find our ummah come to life. The thing about the companions, like I mentioned is that, what they had and what is missing from our time is that the attribute of going above and beyond the bare minimum. Ibn Abbas, he says about the companions and mentioned,
"I did not see a single companion. I did not see a single companion except that they would take something from the night..."
Meaning, they would pray some type of qiyaamullail and the questions I got from young people such as my usrah family. They share with me about,
"You know what, my imaan is just not going too well. Like I have a dip in my imaan and I just don't feel it anymore. I feel nothing.."
So the first question I ask these people is,
"How is your relationship and connection with Allah? How is your qiaamullail? When was the last time you got up in the middle of the night and pray to Allah?"
So if they usually answer like, 'Well I don't really do that. I just try to do my five daily prayers. Ermm ya I'm still happy if I can get that in'. So I tell them,
"Listen gais, if you're cutting of your connection with Allah, how are gonna be better? You can't expect that your imaan to just get fixed all of sudden on its own. No. It's not gonna happen. But all of us must take steps for become a better Muslim. You have to take steps to reach that level of imaan. You know what, my teacher advice me, if you want to pray qiaamullail, all you have to do is just try it. Yessss, you must try it. And I'm not talking about spending a third of the night praying. I'm just saying for you gais to get up 10 minutes before fajr. Only 10 minutes. Try and pray qiaamullail and get the experience because this is totally amazing spiritual nature and blessing that Allah has given us."
