How to Offer Salat al Tahajjud (The Night Prayer)
1. Rakat
First make the Niyyah (intention) by reciting "I intend to perform two rakats of the salat al Tahajjud"
You say takbir "Allahu Akbar" This starts the prayer.
Begin reciting "Subhanaka"
After you say: "Audhu billahi min-ash-shayta -nir-rajeem Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-raheem"
Reciting Surah Al Fatiha
Another portion (Surah) of the Qur'an.
Go into Ruku (the bowing position) and We say "Subahaana Rabbiyal Azeem"
Go into the 1st Sajdah and We say "Subahaana Rabbiyal Aa'la"
Now sit-up from the first Sajdah in jalsa position (Sitting position between the two Sajdahs)
Now go into the 2nd Sajdah and We say "Subahaana Rabbiyal Aa'la"
