Winter has arrived in Riyadh alhamdulillah!
In terms of our attitude with the winter;’ the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Winter is the best season for the believer. Its nights are long for him to pray in, and its days are short for him to fast in.” And Umar (RA) said: “Winter is the prize of the worshippers.” Ibn Rajab al-Hambali said in his book ‘Lata’if al-Ma’arif’: “Winter is the best season for the believer because…Allah strengthens his practice in it by making worship easy for him.

This is because in winter, the believer can fast during the day with ease without suffering from hunger and thirst. The days are short and cold, and he therefore doesn’t feel the hardship of fasting…
As for praying at night in the winter due to its long nights, one can have his share of sleep and then get up to pray afterwards and recite all that he usually recites of the Qur’an while he has had enough sleep. So, he can combine between the sleep that he needs and the usual amount of recitation of the Qur’an that he completes in a day. So, he fulfills the interests of both his religion and the comfort of his body…

May Allah use us in His obedience and accept from us. Ameen.
