Tahajjud…A whisper into the night

Ya Allah, in the stillness of this night, I come to You—tired, restless, yearning for peace. The world is quiet, but my mind is loud. My thoughts circle endlessly, carrying worries I cannot control, fears I cannot silence, and regrets I cannot change. Ya Rabb, I lay them before You now.

I am weary of overthinking, of holding onto burdens that only You can carry. I do not want to live imprisoned by my own mind, restless even in moments of stillness. Ya Allah, soothe the storm within me. Quiet the chaos in my heart. Replace my anxiety with trust, my fear with faith, my uncertainty with the peace of knowing that You are in control.

Ya Rahman, You see what weighs on me, even when I do not speak it aloud. You know the pain I hide, the battles I fight, the silent prayers I whisper when no one else is listening. Tonight, I leave it all with You. I surrender, not in defeat, but in trust. I do not need all the answers—I only need to know that You are near.

Ya Rabb, as I bow before You in this sacred hour, I ask You to calm my restless heart. Grant me the kind of peace that only comes from You. When my mind is unsettled, remind me to turn to You. When my heart aches, remind me that You are the Healer. When I feel lost, guide me back to You.

Ya Allah, let me wake with a heart unburdened, with a soul at ease, with a mind that trusts in Your divine plan. And if peace is written for me, let it be a peace that draws me closer to You.

Ameen.
