For many pilgrims participating in a Herbst Umrah (Autumn Umrah) or Winter Umrah, the night prayer is an especially intense moment of reflection – especially in the blessed surroundings of Makkah and Madinah. During the Ramadan Umrah, when nights are already filled with worship, Tahajjud provides an additional opportunity to come closer to Allah.
The Special Status of Tahajjud
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“The best prayer after the obligatory ones is the night prayer.”
(Sahih Muslim)
This statement shows how beloved Tahajjud is to Allah. It is a sign of sincerity, as only those with genuine intentions rise in the night to glorify their Lord. For Muslims preparing for Hajj or any Umrah journey, Tahajjud is a valuable companion along the way.
The Impact on Your Heart and Life
Those who regularly perform Tahajjud often experience inner peace and a strengthened faith. Many report gaining more clarity, hope, and divine support in daily life. For pilgrims traveling to the Herbst Umrah or Winter Umrah, this prayer serves as preparation for the intense spiritual atmosphere at the holy sites.
Especially during Ramadan Umrah, when the nights are already filled with barakah, Tahajjud becomes the crown of nightly worship. It is a time when Allah’s mercy is especially near and supplications (duʿāʾ) are more likely to be answered.
How to Incorporate Tahajjud into Daily Life
- Sleep early – Resting early gives you more energy to wake up during the last third of the night.
- Set an alarm – Plan to get up, even if it’s only for two rakʿāt.
- Start small – Begin with two rakʿāt and gradually increase.
- Prepare your duʿāʾs – Write down what you want to ask Allah for during Tahajjud.
By praying Tahajjud regularly, you’ll notice your heart soften and your connection to Allah grow stronger. For travelers joining Miqat on a Herbst Umrah or Winter Umrah, it’s a great way to begin preparing inwardly. Even as you prepare for the Ramadan Umrah 2026, Tahajjud can elevate your worship.
Link to Umrah and Hajj
Night prayers are a powerful component in preparing for Hajj or Umrah. Many pilgrims begin their spiritual journey with intense night prayers. During the Herbst Umrah, Winter Umrah, or Ramadan Umrah with Miqat, there are many opportunities to perform Tahajjud in the Haram Mosque or near the Prophet’s Mosque ﷺ.
These prayers connect you to a long tradition of those who rose in the darkness to remember Allah – from the prophets to the companions to today's pilgrims who turn their hearts to their Creator.
Conclusion
Tahajjud is more than a prayer – it’s a school of patience, gratitude, and closeness to Allah. For all those preparing for the Herbst Umrah, Winter Umrah, or Ramadan Umrah, it is a precious companion. Start now by incorporating it into your routine and deepen your relationship with your Creator.
