How to Pray Tahajjud
A Thread

First start off with reciting the Dua for Tahajjud before starting the salah

Here’s a video for the reason behind this dua. For complete video https://www.instagram.com/tv/COIaZKaA60L/?igshid=1ieugy31ceezz

Then Pray 2 rakats of Salah each (without iqamah) and it can be prayed till 8 rakat, how much of that you want to pray for example, 2 rakat or 4 rakat or 6 rakat or 8 rakat is upto you but more is always better.

After Tahajjud Salah is done, it is the sunnah to end with three rakat witr and if time is short (Fajr time is near) then end with one rakat of Witr Salah.

If you are going to pray Tahajjud then pray Witr prayer after Tahajjud Prayer, but if you have already prayed Witr after Isha Prayer then do not pray Witr Prayer again because there is only one Witr in a night.

Make Dua and ask for forgiveness and for Jannatul Firdaws and refuge against Hellfire.

It is best to pray Tahajjud Salah 2 to 2.5 hours (last one third of night) before Fajr starts.

Tahajjud time is calculated by looking at the hours between Magrib and Fajr Salah.

If Magrib is at 7pm and Fajr is at 4am between them is nine hours, divide those nine hours by 3. So we have 3hours, 3hours and 3hours

So 7pm till 10pm is the first third of night
10pm till 1am is the second third of night
1am till Fajr is the last third of night

Allah (SWT) Descends to the First Heaven Every Night

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When it is the last third of the night, our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, descends every night to the heaven
of the world and says;

“Is there anyone who invokes Me (demand anything from Me), that I may respond to his invocation; Is there anyone who asks Me for something that I may give (it to) him; Is there anyone who asks My forgiveness that I may forgive him?”

Sahih al-Bukhari 6321
