The question

How does a Muslim combine the revival of the time between the two evening prayers at home with waiting for the 'Isha prayer and maintaining a ribat (vigil) between the two prayers, especially with the revelation of the verse "Their sides forsake their beds" concerning the waiting for the 'Atamah prayer?

The answer

Reviving the time between the two 'Isha prayers with prayer at home is better, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "O people, pray in your homes, for the best of prayer is a person's prayer in his home, except for the obligatory prayers." One can combine the virtue of praying at home with the virtue of awaiting prayer by performing supererogatory prayers at home while their heart remains attached to the mosque. So, whoever awaits the prayer in his home or whose heart remains attached to it, enters into the reward of ribat (guarding the frontiers).
