Four or Eight or Twelve Rakat offered in the late night is Called?

Salat-e-Tahajjud is a special Nafl prayer offered late at night. It is prayed after waking up from sleep and is one of the most rewarding voluntary prayers in Islam.

Muslims usually offer 4, 8, or even 12 rakats of Tahajjud depending on their strength and devotion. It is a time when a person can privately connect with Allah, seek forgiveness, and ask for blessings. The prayer is done in the last part of the night, before the time of Fajr begins.

Tahajjud was regularly performed by the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H), and he encouraged his followers to offer it too. It is mentioned in the Quran as a way to earn closeness to Allah and a source of honor on the Day of Judgment.

The night is peaceful and quiet, making it the best time for deep spiritual reflection and supplication. During Tahajjud, Muslims can make dua for themselves, their families, and the entire Ummah. It shows sincerity, patience, and the desire to please Allah.

Tahajjud is not compulsory but has great spiritual value. It brings peace to the heart, increases Imaan (faith), and helps with personal growth. Regularly praying Tahajjud strengthens your connection with Allah and helps you live a more focused and purposeful life.

Waking up in the middle of the night just to worship Allah is a sign of strong belief, and those who do it are promised special rewards in the Hereafter.
