Wa Alaikum Salam.
Subhanallah! You are indeed blessed by Allah to be able to observe Tahajjud every night. This in and of itself is a very unique gift to you. Allah has made it very easy for you to engage in it, so please, never lose sight of that and never downplay this blessing. Some people set up to 4 or 5 different alarms to wake them for this and yet are unable to even move their toes out of bed.
This is your spiritual food or sustenance for your ruh hence the reason you feel very happy or good after performing it. Allah has promised that in His remembrance do hearts find rest Q13:28. I also believe Sheikh Empiree mentioned this verse earlier.
Depression is a spiritual illness and can't be treated materially. It's treatment and your recovery is in what you were doing before which is tahajjud. Please make your niyah and go back to it with an open heart. Allah will always welcome you back, InshaAllah.
Remember that there's no bad deed Allah will not forgive provided you seek repentance and forgiveness genuinely. Q39:53 is like a soothing and healing balm on the hearts of those who despair of the mercy of Allah. It provides hope and solace. No Muslim should ever hold despair in their hearts as it leads to disbelief after sometime.
It is only Allah that can give to you everlasting knowledge, wealth and happiness.
Q 2:282 - The end part with have Wa taqu Allah... to the verse end.
Q 4:113 - The end part with Wa Anzala Allahu... to verse end.
Repeating these two; one after the other is very excellent for wisdom, knowledge and understanding. When you think about Allah much, you thank Him much, you praise Him much, then He will open the gates of knowledge specifically from Himself. This one is not a matter of you went to school and have first class or third class, etc ...
I would like for you to let me know what you experience with the recitation of these two verses after sometime.
I hope this helps InshaAllah.

Jazakhumullahi khayran for this advice bro.. I havetaken note of the recommended verses how many will you recommend i do daily... May Almighty Allah bless you abundantly

Aslam Alaikum. Honestly I'm also a student on this thread I think the Mallams on this thread will respond in no time.

Don't ever think about not achieving your dreams because of grade. mind you i'm not saying you should joke with your studies. but if that's how Allah want it to happen then so be it. you can't have it all. Tony Elumelu Graduated with 3rd while the so called first class graduates are praying day and night just to have a chance to work for him. Guy if I will tell you my story you will forever thank Allah for your life. Some people are book smart some Are good in trading like Igbo's some are good in Farming while some are good in rearing animals. You need to really change the way you think that's the first step. First identify what you want then go for it. with Allah by your side you will surely get it. I got partial scholarship last year to study abroad . but due to some unforseen circumstances I didn't make it. i was depressed because I spent a lot. but I turn to Allah and he gave me a better alternative. Last year I was down both financially and spiritually. But Allah gave me a better replacement. I'm now my own boss I work for my own Company, mind you last year like this i'm empty and depressed. There is nothing that Allah cannot do for you. Just keep on praying to Allah to show you the way and make the best choices for you.

Jazakhumullahi khayran for this post . I feel elated

Iam sorry but I was brought up to always allow elders to speak first ..so I await others listed to start

How ever assist us and give us idea on your course of study,your current Gpa also are you presently in final year ?

Before the elders come in,i feel it duty bound to calm you down and ask you to be strong iblis is moving you into darkness hence your depression.will wait for your response to questions I asked and also the elders to advise ...how ever :Be assured that Allah's mercy and forgiveness is definite


1)— Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

— Quran, Sura 39 (Az-Zumar), ayah 53

2)
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah Almighty said: *O son of Adam, if you call upon me and place your hope in me, I will forgive you without hesitation. O son of Adam, if you have sins piling up to the clouds and then ask for my forgiveness, I will forgive you without hesitation. O son of Adam, if you come to me with enough sins to fill the earth and then you meet me without associating anything with me, I will come to you with enough forgiveness to fill the earth.”*

Iam in love wit the hadith I posted here ....observe where all mighty assured us by usage " with out hesitation"...then tell me brother what will make you despair?......Allah is merciful ,his love for us is more than that of a mother to her child ....If ritualists,rapists,homosexuals,paedophile,serial killers,name it can repent and be forgiven then why then will you fear or despair of his mercy upon you ?

Let me confess something to you,because of how Merciful our lord is,I used to pray in my mind that some evil people should not repent before they die so that they will meet their payment BECAUSE I KNOW ONCE THEY RAISE THEIR HANDS, IT IS DONE .HE FORGIVES WITH OUT HESITATION THEIR SLATES WILL BE WIPED CLEAN ..there are some people that are so evil and have harmed so many and caused so much pain but Allah is not us ,he forgives ,he is merciful ...he will forgive them once they repent sincerely .

3)..... I love this hadith also


Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah Almighty says: Whoever comes with a good deed will have the reward of ten like it and even more. Whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed for one evil deed like it or he will be forgiven. Whoever draws close to me by the length of a hand, I will draw close to him by the length of an arm. Whoever draws close to me the by length of an arm, I will draw close to him by the length of a fathom. Whoever comes to me walking, I will come to him running. Whoever meets me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any idols with me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness.”

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2687

Did you read the part where the almighty said if you come with a good deed ,he will give you ten times or more and then ...brother read where he stated that if you come with an evil deed you will be recompensed with one evil deed like it or he will forgive you...subhanallah brother ,see Allah's mercy he didn't say 10 times of your evil .....

Did you read where he said if you come walking ,he will come running ? Brother ..your lord,my lord ,our lord is merciful and awaits your repentence .Just ask him

His mercy and forgiveness is assured don't doubt that ...find your way back to him which is easy repent sincerelyv and seek for forgivness. All your thoughts & doubts are from iblis,the idiot is trying to make you feel helpless so that you don't return to Allah .Don't mind the fool no be today .He knows he has no mercy on him and what awaits him so he wants to pull as many with him..and yet the idiot after pulling others will still deny them ooo..That is his life he has no hope.don't mind him

Will wait for elders to give wiser words then we discuss your issue with school etc..but seeking REPENTANCE AND SEEKING FORGIVENESS IS PARAMOUNT

Jazakhumullahi khayran brother. I feel happy with your words.. I am on 1.78 after 300l first semester just about finishing srcond semester exams.. Course is civil engineering

All 100%.
Also. Reciting surah Ikhlas almost every night tahajjud (50, 100,1000, etc) will act as a compass for you in the sense that if someone is saying something to you, you’ll instantly know if it is true or not. Anything you want to say, do or engage in, you’ll know the truth of it kia kia. Just ensure you maintain a regular number of recitation you can manage.
Those people you mentioned sure know how to spend their money.
Pure wealth can be used to acquire jannah if you know what you are doing. That’s why I’m so surprised to see basterdization of wealth here and there. What a loss!

Salam alaykum bro i am blessed with the gift of performing tahajjud everyday. No matter how tired I am before my night sleep i will still find it easy to wake up i hardly yawn, feel sleepy or tired when awake. I noticed i am always happy and a kind of calmness and tranquility descend upon me for the whole of the day apart from other spiritual signs.on days i did not perform tahajjud i notice i am always heavily depressed no matter how hard i try to be happy. I wanted to live like a normal person and also out of laziness i stopped and also slack in my religous obligations. This affected my life negatively. I became heavily depressed and resorted to engage in sinful acts my grades in uni are poor and there is no way i can graduate with the minimum grade requirement for the labour market
For a young man few years from his mid twenties
How can i achieve all my great dreams and be successful with this my poor grade. Will Almight Allah have mercy on me due to my sins. The future looks bleak

I have learnt to hold on to my gift and i will appreciate if anyone can tell me how to maximize the use of it
