Enlivening the night with tahajjud prayers is highly recommended in Islam.

This is mentioned in the Al-Quran surah Al-Isra verse 79, “And rise at ˹the last˺ part of the night, offering additional prayers, so your Lord may raise you to a station of praise.”

I illustrate this by means of a tree approaching the moon. The tree is on a rope, this is a metaphor that performing night prayers is not an easy worship, except for people who believe and are pious.
