Answer:

Tahajjud is performed in the same manner as other prayers.

Hereunder are some points about Tahajjud.

  • Tahajjud Salaat is Sunnat and carries great reward
  • In Salaat ut, Tahajjud Du’aa’s are accepted
  • The time for Tahajjud is after Esha’ until true dawn
  • It is better that Tahajjud is performed in the latter part of the night
  • If no one could wake up and Tahajjud was performed after Esha’, then one will get the reward of Tahajjud
  • One can perform 4 Rak’ats or 8 Rak’ats of Tahajjud
  • It is better to perform 8 Rak’ats. 1
