Tahajjud, the night prayer, holds a special place in Islamic tradition, offering a unique opportunity for reflection, supplication, and self-improvement. Our dedicated WhatsApp group is designed to provide you with the motivation and support you need to establish this beautiful practice in your life.
Tahajjud isn’t just about the extra night prayers; it’s a transformative journey that can positively impact all areas of your life. By connecting with a community of like-minded sisters, you’ll find the encouragement to rise in the quiet hours of the night, fostering a stronger spiritual connection and deepening your faith. Through this group, you’ll gain valuable insights, build lasting bonds, and receive the motivation to make Tahajjud a regular part of your routine.
The Prophet ﷺ said, “The best prayer one can perform apart from the obligatory prayers is one performed at night.” Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim
You can watch Tahajjud series by Anse Dr. Tamara Gray here.
Every year, during the blessed month of Rabi’ al-Awwal and Sha’ban, Rabata encourages a global effort in collective salawat (sending prayers upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to increase our love for him.) It is said that an increasing love for the Prophet ﷺ engenders sincerity in our efforts to follow his example, facilitates the application of his teachings in our daily lives and enables us to remain steadfast on the straight path under the Prophetic banner. Salawat is also a means of receiving blessings, light, and mercy.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “Whoever sends one prayer upon me, Allah ta’ala sends ten prayers upon him and records ten good deeds.” (Sunan al- Tirmidhi)
One of the simplest forms of sending prayers upon the Prophet (s) is by reciting the following supplication: “Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad.” You can download other variations here.
Muslim women have the incredible opportunity to create a worship plan that spans throughout the seasons, nurturing their spiritual growth and making a positive impact in their lives and communities. In the blessed month of Rabi al-Awwal, they engage in abundant salawat, filling their hearts with love for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). During the sacred month of Dhul Hijja, they participate in the Ibadah Olympics, striving to excel in acts of worship and earn the pleasure of Allah. And in the blessed month of Ramadan, they immerse themselves in khitmas, devotedly reciting and reflecting upon the Quran.
By crafting a comprehensive worship plan that encompasses the entire year, Muslim women embrace the opportunity to deepen their connection with Allah, increase their faith, and positively impact the world around them. They are agents of change, bringing light and blessings to every season, as they strive to live a life of purpose, devotion, and excellence.
By reciting Surat Al-Baqarah daily, we invite Allah’s Blessings and Protection into our lives. Its recitation in our homes serves as a spiritual shield, ensuring tranquility and safeguarding against negative influences.
As we come together on this WhatsApp thread, we encourage and support one another to remain steadfast in our commitment to reciting Surat Al-Baqarah daily, full or partial. Through sharing our experiences, reflections, and insights, we foster an environment of growth and nourishment.
Our prayers are a daily connection to Allah ﷻ that deserve our sincere attention and devotion, and it is a debt that must be repaid if missed.
As a gift to the Rabata community and our ummah as a whole, Anse Nausheena Hussain, Anse Afshan Malik, Anse Eamaan Rabbat, and Anse Sarah Olesky (alongside many women behind the scenes) developed a workbook to help those who seek to make up their missed prayers with diligence and intentionality.

Making up missed fasts in Islam is of utmost importance as it reflects commitment to fulfilling one’s religious obligations. The Prophet (peace be upon him) emphasized the significance of compensating for missed fasts, saying in a hadith: “Whoever misses a day of fasting in Ramadan without a valid excuse or illness must fast an equivalent day outside of Ramadan.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
Join Rabata’s WhatsApp thread for a community of women dedicated to making up missed fasts for motivation, accountability, and support in fulfilling this important obligation. Stay on track, share your progress, and take part in the common pursuit of becoming Fast Debt Free.

Our season of reflection and repentance begins the sacred month of Rajab. Historically, scholars have recommended that we prepare for Ramadan now and start our journey to make peace with our Lord and seek His forgiveness.
At Rabata, we want to encourage a global season of reflection and repentance. Join us to strive for transformative tawba, forgiveness, and make an individual goal for 70,000 istighfār. 70,000 is a special goal, one that scholars have encouraged so we may strive to reach new heights of tawba, stretch our dhikr muscles, and be rewarded with His forgiveness.
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Oh people, repent to Allah; indeed I repent one hundred times per day.” The repetition of ‘astaghfirullāh’ was a habit of our Prophet ﷺ – he who was forgiven and promised the reward of his Lord.
