Are you frustrated by an Alarm clock?

Pressing the snooze button too often?

Sleeping in?

It happens to all of us, you set your alarm for Tahajjud excited to wake up and reap its benefits. The next morning you wake up by the rays of sunlight hitting your eyes and that deep sense of regret sinks in. You’ve missed Tahjjud and more importantly you are 4 hours late for Fajr !

Here are 13 effective ways taken from the original 13 methods devised by Khalifatul Masih 2nd , Hadhrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad (May God be pleased with him)  to wake up for Tahjjud  without an Alarm Clock.

There are two reasons: a) If you start talking, you will sleep late and will not be able to get up early in the morning. b) If the conversation concerns things other than faith, your attention will be diverted. It is not forbidden to carry out office work or other important assignments after Isha. … In that case it is better to spend some time in Zikr before going to sleep”

3. Let’s freshen up:  “Perform Wudu before going to bed, even if you are already in a state of ablution. It affects the heart and creates a special kind of freshness.
