SUNNAH BEFORE YOU SLEEP

Sunnah Before Sleep 

What things that do you usually did before go bed to sleep at night?

    As Muslims, we believe that we should follow the example of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). We should learn about the way the Prophet (SAW) would live his life, what He would do before sleeping, his behaviour towards others and many other things. Here I want to share some sunnah that you can do before you go to sleep:

    1) Take wudhu before go to bed. There is stated in Hadith Sahih Bukhari 247, which is mean "O Allah! I surrender to You for Your blessings both with hope and fear of You. There is no fleeing from You, and there is no place protection and safety except with You O Allah! I believe in Your Book (Al-Quran) which You have revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad SAW) whom you have sent". Then if you die on that vey night, you will die with faith.

    2) Cleaning your bed sheets. Before you go to sleep please make sure your bed is clean. This is because, when the bed is clean it can make our sleep more comfortable without any dust or disturbing things. This is also one of the sunnah that our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has said.

    3) Not sleep on your belly but sleep on your right side. It was narrated that Abu Dhar said: "The Prophet (SAW) passed by me and I was lying on my stomach. He nudged me with his foot and said:'O Junaidib! This is how the people of Hell lie.'". Obviously, sleep on our stomach is very disliked by our Prophet and also disapproved by Allah. So, make sure that you avoid from sleep on your stomach and get used to sleep on our right side.

    4) Reciting du'a, dhikr and tasbeeh. This is one of the most important sunnah that people sometimes forget to do. Sometimes people have had a long day, feeling unwell or exhausted, and then they tend to go straight to the bed and sleep. It is not take very long to recite the du'a. If you always remind yourself to to do that every night, inshaallah, you will get used to doing it every day.

    In conclusion, by following these sunnah before we sleep, inshaallah, not only we can get rewards from Allah, but also it give benefits for our body health. I hope you guys already have this kind of mindset which is following the sunnah before sleep. That's all, thank you.
