Surely this must be our objective. That is to enter the heaven without<br />

going through Judgement. It must be the intention <strong>and</strong> desire of every<br />

believer [mukminin], every worshipper [ibadi] <strong>and</strong> every seeker [murid]<br />

of the afterlife to be one of those who enter the heavens without being<br />

judge on the Day of Reckoning.<br />

O Allah, You know we have sin indeed we did sin <strong>and</strong> will commit sin<br />

whether intentionally or unintentionally.<br />

O Lord, do make us of those who work hard to get up at night <strong>and</strong><br />

observe the night vigil.<br />

O Lord, do include us amongst those who enter the heavens without<br />

being judge on the Day of Reckoning.<br />

“You should get up for the night (prayers) for indeed it is the deeds of<br />

those pious before you. It is a way for you to get closer to your Lord,<br />

<strong>and</strong> erase the sins, <strong>and</strong> helps (us) to prevent committing sins.<br />

<strong>The</strong> hadith is transmitted by Tirmidhi.<br />

ibn Abbas r.a. narrated that the Messenger of Allah s.a.w. comm<strong>and</strong>ed<br />
