Allah informs us via a Hadith Qudsi that we should offer voluntary acts to get close to Him. We also know from the Prophetic Sunnah that one of the acts dearests to Muhammad (PBUH) was the night prayer, i.e., Tahajjud. He would stand at night for hours in the deep worship of Allah.
The ideal time for how to pray Tahajjud is during the last third of the night. Allah informed us that this is the time at which He comes to the lowest heavens. Then, He asks the believers who are praying to make duas which He can answer, and repent so that He can forgive. This is also the time that Prophet Muhammad (S) prayed at.
Prophet Muhammad (S) used to offer 8 rakats of Tahajjud and pray 3 witr for a total of 11. If we plan to offer Tahajjud, we should leave the witr till the end and not pray them with Isha. We can pray the 8 rakats of Tahajjud in batches of two. However, the number 8 is not final. We can pray more or less. The reason for focusing on 8 is because that’s what Prophet Muhammad (S) did. We should make lots of dua during our prayer and repent to Allah for our sins.
