re: salat

BISMILLAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM.
ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM WRBTH,
Abu Hurairah RA narrated that Prophet Muhammad SAWS said:
" When one of you retires for the night, Satan ties three knots at the back of his neck. He recites this incantation at every knot: 'You have a long night, so sleep!' When the person get up and remembers Allah, one knot is loosened. If he performs ablution, the second knot is loosened. When he offers salat (prayers), all knots are loosened. Then the person begins his morning in a happy and refreshed mood, otherwise he gets up in bad spirit and remains in a sluggish state." (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)

So true. Hence the reward is so high for night prayers. May Allah give us the stregnth to overcome the difficulties and increase our Imaan to perform Salaat at night time more to earn those rewards.
