vigil or Iḥyāʾ is one of the significant worship traditions among Muslims.
According to most of the exegetes, as it can be inferred from Qur'an 73, keeping vigil to perform night prayers was an obligation upon all Muslims for about one year; and Muslims as well as the Prophet (s) carried out this obligation; However, after nearly a year, and according to the verse number 21 of the same sura, Allah substituted it for tahajjud which is obligatory only for the Prophet (s).
Vigil, as a specific term, denotes keeping vigil at special nights during the year; the most important of which is the Night of al-Qadr (the nights of 19th, 21st, and 23rd in the Month of Ramadan). Also, according to one narration, Imam Ali (a) has recommended the vigil during four nights: the first night of Rajab, the night at the middle of the month of Sha'ban, and the nights of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
It has been narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (s) that: whoever keeps vigil on the nights of the two Eids, his heart shall not die on the day that all hearts die (on the Day of Judgment). There is a narration indicating a similar reward for the vigil during the eve of Sha'ban 15th as well....
