Dream - Every Muslim certainly wants to have their status elevated by Allah SWT. This status is related to the deeds performed by humans or any good things done by humans. As explained in the words of Allah SWT in Surah Al-An'am verse 132: "Each person has their own rank according to what they have done. Your Lord is not unaware of what they do." So, what can humans do to have their status elevated by Allah SWT?

The first method is by performing congregational prayer at the mosque. When the call to prayer has been announced, one should immediately stop their activities and go to the mosque to perform congregational prayer. In fact, every step of a Dream companion towards the mosque will bring rewards. The Prophet Muhammad said, "Indeed, with every step you take, you will raise your rank." (Narrated by Muslim)

The second way to elevate one's status by Allah SWT is by sending blessings upon Prophet Muhammad saw. By sending blessings, we praise Prophet Muhammad saw as the Messenger and Prophet of Allah SWT. In fact, by sending blessings, Allah SWT will raise the person who recites it by 10 degrees. As Prophet Muhammad saw said from the angel Jibril:

"Whoever sends blessings upon you once, Allah SWT will send blessings and grant safety to that person ten times. Allah SWT will also raise that person ten degrees." (HR. Bukhari)

The next way is by seeking knowledge. Seeking knowledge is commanded to both Muslim men and women. Whether it is religious knowledge or general knowledge. Because with knowledge, Allah SWT will elevate the status of that person. As explained in Surah Al-Mujadalah verse 11:

"

...surely Allah SWT will elevate the believers among you and those who have been given knowledge by several degrees. And Allah is All-Knowing of what you do.

The last way to elevate one's degree in the sight of Allah SWT is through performing tahajud prayer. This prayer, although recommended, has extraordinary virtues when performed during the third part of the night. Therefore, it would be a pity to let it pass by. As explained in a hadith:

"Perform the night prayer. Because the night prayer is the tradition of the righteous people before you, a means to draw closer to Allah SWT, a prevention from committing sins, a eraser of mistakes, and a prevention from all kinds of diseases in the body." (HR. Tirmidzi)
