Famous Islamic Scholar Sheikh Ali Zahir Bin Saeed Qasim has said that those who know the goodness fo Tahajjud prayer and Tarawih prayer will not find it difficult when these prayers are lengthy.
Speaking at a religious lecture held at Masjid-Al Muhammad Thakurfaan on Monday, the sheikh said that those who find the prayers lengthy are people who are not aware of the goodness of the prayers.
The Sheikh said that adults should take children to Tarawih and Tahajud to get them used to it. “Children might not be able to keep up with adults. When they are tired they can rest. They need to take part in this then only they will get used to it” said the sheikh.
Sheikh Ali Zahir said that the best way is to complete the prayers with the Imaam. He said that those who cannot do it, should do as much as possible. “There is no reason not to perform Witr because you cannot complete it. It is okay to start even tonight” said the Sheikh.
In addition the Sheikh said that prostrating and remaining in that position is also a very high level of worship. The sheikh advised to give alms, recite Quran and to engage in night prayers.
