2. Number of Rak‘ahs:

   • Minimum: 2 Rak‘ahs
   • Common practice: 8 Rak‘ahs
   • The Prophet ﷺ would often pray 11 Rak‘ahs including Witr.

3. Intention (Niyyah):

   • Make the intention in your heart:
     “I intend to perform the Sunnah prayer of Tahajjud for the sake of Allah.”

4. Recitation:

   • After Surah Al-Fatihah, recite any long Surah or verses you remember.
   • The Prophet ﷺ would sometimes recite long portions like Surah Al-Baqarah, Al-Imran, or Al-Mulk.

5. Dua & Supplication:

   • After completing the prayer, raise your hands and make heartfelt du‘a.
   • The time of Tahajjud is when du‘as are most likely to be accepted.

2. The Virtues of Tahajjud Prayer

• Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an:
  “And during the night, pray Tahajjud as an extra (nawafil) for you; it may be that your Lord will raise you to a praised station.” (Surah Al-Isra 17:79)

• The Prophet ﷺ said:
  “The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer (Tahajjud).” (Sahih Muslim)

• At the time of Tahajjud, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and says:
  “Who is calling upon Me, that I may answer him? Who is asking Me, that I may give him? Who is seeking forgiveness, that I may forgive him?” (Sahih Bukhari & Muslim)

• It purifies the heart, strengthens faith, and brings inner peace.

• Those who pray Tahajjud are described in the Qur’an as “the people of humility, patience, and closeness to Allah.”

2. Fazā’il (Fazilat aur Ajr)

• Qur’an me Allah Ta‘ala farmata hai:
  “Aur raat ke waqt Tahajjud padho, yeh tumhare liye nafl hai, shayad tumhara Rab tumhe maqam-e-mahmood tak pahunchaye.” (Surah Al-Isra 17:79)
