<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) They point out the merit of Qiyām al-Layl and that a man should urge the members of his household to perform it.<br> 2) It is recommended to praise a good man if this would encourage him to perform more good deeds.<br> 3) The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would readily respond to the Prophet’s guidance. That is the attitude of believers: to hasten to obey the commands of Allah and His Prophet, for all goodness and success lie in obeying them.<br> 4) They warn us against being like the lazy people and urge us to be like those with vigor and resolve in doing good deeds.
