Narrated Abu Salama bin Abdur Rahman: that he askedAisha “How was the prayer of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in Ramadan?” She replied, “He did not pray more than eleven rakat in Ramadan or in any other month. He used to pray four rakat —- let alone their beauty and length—-and then he would pray four —-let alone their beauty and length —- and then he would pray three rakat (witr)." She added, "I asked, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do you sleep before praying the witr?' He replied, 'OAisha! My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.”

My name is Foyjul Islam. I am a journalist and writer based in London, UK, and a practicing Muslim with a deep passion for thoughtful living, faith, and personal growth. I am currently studying in the ʿĀlimiyyah program and pursuing Hifz, which allows me to deepen my understanding of the Islamic tradition and strengthen my connection to the Qur’an.
I love travelling, learning, and meeting people from different walks of life. These experiences have shaped how I see the world and taught me to be my own teacher in life. I believe that every journey, conversation, and challenge carries a lesson, and I try to approach each day with curiosity and gratitude.
Outside of work and studies, I enjoy spending time with my family, which keeps me grounded and reminds me of what truly matters. I’m into sports, which helps me stay healthy and active, and I’m a bit of a foodie who enjoys discovering new places to eat. I also have a long-standing interest in cars.
My faith is at the heart of who I am. It guides my values, my writing, and the way I interact with others. Through my journey of faith, family, writing, ʿĀlimiyyah studies, and Hifz, I hope to offer benefit, inspiration, and reflection to others, and to contribute in a small way to meaningful, faith-rooted conversations in our time.
