How to Pray Tahajjud?

 



How to Pray Tahajjud?

The Best prayer: And rise at "the last"
part of the night, offering additional
prayers.
Quran 17:79
The Prophet ﷺ said: The best prayer
after the obligatory (fard) prayers is
prayer at night.
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1614

How to pray?
There is no specific way to pray
tahajjud, so a Muslim should pray two
rak'ahs by two.
How many Rak'ah?
Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to offer
eleven rak at and that was his prayer,
but if anyone does more or less than
that, it does not matter.
Sahih al-Bukhari 1123

What to recite?
There are no specific surahs to be
recited in the night prayers; rather the
individual may recite whatever he is
able to of the Quran.
Is it Sunnah?
Yes, it is a confirmed Sunnah. The
Prophet prayed it and encouraged
others to pray.

When to pray?
It can be prayed at the beginning of
the night, in the middle or at the end,
although the end is preferable, and
the last third of the night is best.

The Sunnahs are:
1. To pray eleven Rak'at (Eight Rak'at's
2 by 2 and with 3 Rak'at of witr)
2. To prolong the prostration
3. To pray the 2 Rak'at before fair and
to lie down till the Adhan is heard

Difference between Tahajjud &
Qiyaam al-layl:
Shaykh In Baz (may Allah have
mercy on him) was asked: What is the
difference between Taraweeh, Qiyam
and Tahajjud? He replied: "Prayer
at night is called tahajjud or qiyam
al-lay!"
Fatawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baz, 11/317

Witr Prayer:
Witr can be prayed with one, three,
five, seven or more rak'ahs after 'Isha
untill Dawn Begins. The Sunnah is
to delay it if one is able to get up for
Qiyamal-Layl.

Other Acts of worship:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"Our
Lord, the Blessed, the Superior,
comes every night down on the
nearest Heaven to us when the last
third of the night remains, saying: "Is
there anyone to invoke Me, so that I
may respond to invocation? Is there
anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant
him his request? Is there anyone
seeking My forgiveness, so that I may
forgive him?" Sahih al-Bukhari 1145

It is encouraged to Make Dua, to seek
forgiveness of Allah and do other
Acts of worship. May Allah accept it
from us.
