Advice for youngsters

The blessing of Allah Ta’ala descends during the night. A person, who performs the Salah of I'sha in congregation and sleeps with the intention of performing the Salah of Fajr in congregation, is like a person who is performing Salah the entire night. Ponder over the favour of Allah Ta’ala! He considers us Namazi even in our sleep also. 

Therefore, youngsters who are spending their nights in touring or in the disco or casino, must understand that they are depriving themselves of immense benefits. If they do not have the courage to do Ibaadah, at least they must not waste their time and energy in transgressing the command of Allah Ta’ala. The night is made to rest or to make Ibaadat but not to waste it by committing sins. It is the favour of Allah Ta’ala that He allows us to sleep without depriving us of His immense reward.
