As a young girl, I faced the harsh reality of living in poverty. My family struggled to make ends meet, and we had very little to survive upon. At the age of 14, I found solace and hope in the practice of Tahajjud prayers, and little did I know that it would transform my life in ways I could never have imagined.

Inspired by the teachings of Islam, I began waking up in the depths of the night, seeking the pleasure of Allah through the Tahajjud prayers. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer" (Muslim). This Hadith motivated me to persevere in my devotion and seek divine blessings in the early hours before dawn.

As I continued to dedicate myself to Tahajjud, an incredible change began to unfold in my life. My father, who had been struggling to find stable employment, suddenly received a job offer with a significantly better pay. It was as if our prayers were answered, and a new chapter of hope began for our family.

With my father's improved income, our living conditions gradually improved. We no longer had to worry about the bare essentials of life. However, I yearned to contribute to our family's well-being and carve out a path of independence for myself.

Guided by the principles of Islam, I decided to harness my passion for sewing and turn it into a business venture. I started with simple garments, stitching them diligently and with love. I took inspiration from a Hadith where the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Allah loves, when one of you does something, that he or she does it well" (Al-Adab Al-Mufrad). This Hadith encouraged me to put my best efforts into my work and strive for excellence.

Word of my sewing skills began to spread within the community, and I started receiving orders for custom-made garments. With determination and meticulousness, I nurtured my business, expanding my clientele and reputation. It wasn't long before my sewing business started flourishing, enabling me to contribute significantly to our family's financial stability.

As I embarked on this journey, I found a newfound sense of peace within myself. Through the Tahajjud prayers, I had experienced a deep connection with Allah, and that connection resonated in every aspect of my life. I was grateful for the blessings I had received, and I strived to maintain a humble and grateful heart.

In the course of my growth and success, I was blessed to meet a pious and kind-hearted individual who would later become my spouse. Our shared devotion to Allah and commitment to living a righteous life strengthened our bond. Together, we decided to embark on a new chapter in a European country, where we could continue our pursuit of faith and contribute positively to society.

Looking back on my journey, I am amazed at how the power of Tahajjud prayers and the teachings of Islam transformed my life. From the depths of poverty, I found hope, success, and contentment. I am forever grateful to Allah for His guidance and blessings, and I pray that my story may inspire others to seek solace and change through the devotion of Tahajjud and the teachings of Islam.
