Question 3

What is the best time for praying Tahajjud prayers?

Accepted Answer

The best time for Tahajjud prayer is in the last part of the night, just before Fajr Praying Times.

To determine the optimal time for Tahajjud:

Calculate the time between Maghrib and Fajr Praying Times
Divide this duration into three equal parts
The last third is considered the most virtuous time

For example, if Maghrib Praying Times are at 6:00 PM and Fajr Praying Times are at 5:00 AM, the best time for Tahajjud would be between 2:30 AM and 5:00 AM.
