Offer two rakat prayer before sehri and get the reward of tahajjud! It is one of the best time to pray for your worldly needs as well for spiritual progress. The time for Tahajjud remains until al-Subh al-Sādiq (break of dawn). This is when the time for Fajr sets in and not necessarily the time when Fajr Salāh is performed in the Masjid. The actual time for Tahajjud Salāh is after one wakes up from his/her sleep and the most virtuous time is towards the latter portion of the night. However if one is not able to awaken for the performance of Tahajjud Salāh, then he/she may perform Nafl Salāh before sleeping. The method of performing Tahajjud Salāh is the same as performing any other Salāh. One may perform only two Raka’āt and may increase as time permits. One should keep in mind that the Du’ās are accepted at Tahajjud time. Rasūlullāh Sallallāhu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: When half the night or one third of the night passes, Allāh Ta’ālā proclaims: “Is there anyone who begs from me so I may grant him? Is there anybody who makes Du’ā to me so that his Du’ā will be accepted? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness so that he may be pardoned?” This proclamation continues till the dawn of Fajr. (Sahīh Muslim) On another occasion, Nabī Sallallāhu Alaihi Wa Sallam said: Nabī Sallallāhu Alaihi Wa Sallam was asked: “Which Du’ā is most accepted?” He replied: “The Du’ā made in the last part of the night and the Du’ā made after the obligatory prayers.” (Sunan al-Tirmidhi)
