Prophet Mohamad (may peace be upon him) said, “Tasharoo Fa Inna Fii Ssoohori Baraka.”

This above saying is not an oath, but Prophet Mohamad (may peace be upon him) advised people to wake up after midnight and eat something light, as it is a blessing.

There is something absolutely magical about waking up after midnight for some sort of a nibble, glass of water and some prayers or even Quran reading. The first thing I usually do is look out of the window into the clear skies, usually filled with shining bright stars, so quiet and so serene. Those are meditational moments where I, as a tiny human on earth, look out to reach God, the creator of every single living thing, and just adore that bonding moment of blessing and appreciation for what we have and we enjoy.
