THE TAHAJJUD PRAYER OR (QIYAMUL LAIL):
This is a late night prayer and it's best time to pray is the last quarter of the night. One can pray as many raka'ahs but must end with a Wire. It's recommendable to recite All the suras loudly. Allah says:
ومن الليل فتهجدبه نافلةلك غير ان يبعثك ربك مقاما محمودا.
"And during a part of the night, pray Tahajjud beyond what is incumbent on you; maybe your Lord will raise you to a position of great glory".
Although this order was specially directed to the prophet (SAW), it also refers to all Muslims since he is their example and guider.
Allah says:
كانواقليلامن اليل ما يهجعون {} وبالأسحارهم يستغفرون.
"They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,
And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for forgiveness;
From the above verses, we can believe that those who regularly perform the Tahajjud prayers are the righteous and are more deserving of Allah's bounty and mercy.
