Summary
According to this ruling, no narration is known that states failing to wake for qiyamullail is a sign that Allah does not want to meet a person. Attributing such a statement to Allah requires strong evidence, and without it one should refrain from speaking about what one has no knowledge of. The ruling also mentions that causes of failing to rise at night include sleeping late after idle talk and the burden of sins. Helpful measures include sincere intention and avoiding sin and disobedience.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berbalik kepada persoalan yang dikemukakan, sepanjang pengetahuan kami adalah tidak terdapat riwayat-riwayat yang menyebut bahawa sekiranya seseorang itu tidak bangun qiyamullail maka itu adalah petanda Allah S.W.T tidak mahu berjumpa dengannya.
