In this episode of Ibadur Rahman, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on the next defining quality of the Servants of the Most Merciful: “They are those who spend a portion of the night prostrating themselves and standing before their Lord.” — Surah Al-Furqan, 25:64
After a day of patience and composure among people, these devoted servants find their strength and renewal in solitude — when the world sleeps and their hearts awaken before Allah. Through the stillness of qiyām al-layl, they draw mercy, clarity, and the power to face the trials of the day.
Dr. Omar explores how night worship becomes the believer’s anchor: a time of sincerity away from all eyes, where humility deepens, the soul is healed, and true connection to the Most Merciful is restored.
