Salam dear questioner,

Not sure if this is a brother or a sister, but, in any case, if you have a medical condition and you are facing this difficulty, then just focus on your Fardh prayers (obligatory prayers) and try to perfect them. The night prayers are beautiful and rewarding, but they are not mandatory and there is nothing on you if you weren’t able to perform them.

If you are a sister, you can try praying few brief –yet sincere and heartfelt- units of prayers alone at home in your bedroom at night.

It doesn’t have to be for long hours or keep you staying up late, even if you prayer two rak’aas with 10 verses of the Qur’an after Isha prayer, it will be counted as night prayer for you.

The Prophet (PBUH) said:

If anyone prays at night reciting regularly ten verses, he will not be recorded among the negligent; if anyone prays at night and recites a hundred verses, he will be recorded among those who are obedient to Allah; and if anyone prays at night reciting one thousand verses, he will be recorded among those who receive huge rewards.

So, attempt to simply do a few rak’aas on your own. Enjoy them and make dua. You can then diversify the acts of worship you do at night in your free time; you can make dhikr, read Qur’an, make dua, learn something about the deen … etc.

Take it easy and make a lot of dua to Allah. Dua itself is worship. Just do what you can, focus on the obligatory acts like the 5 prayers and fasting. And then, as for the extra acts, you can do what you can. But they’re not mandatory upon you and you don’t need to risk your health for them.

The points of all of these extra acts of worship in Ramadan is that we want to reap as much fruits as possible from this blessed month, and we want to maximize the time we spend with Allah subhananhu wa Ta’la.

We spend 11 months focusing on ourselves and our lives, but we have this month to dedicate to Allah and revive our faith. This is why we want to invest as much time doing that and spend every minute thinking about Allah, or making dhikr, or praying and remembering His words from the Qur’an, etc. so we can increase in taqwa (God consciousness) which is the purpose of Ramadan.  

I hope his helps. Please keep in touch. Salam.
