Tahajjud, (Arabic: تَهَجُّد) also known as the "night prayer" or "Qiyam-u-lail", is a voluntary prayer performed by followers of Islam. It is not one of the five obligatory prayers required of all Muslims , although the Islamic prophet Muhammad was recorded as performing the tahajjud prayer regularly himself and encouraging his companions.

These are considered highly meritorious, consist of 11 rak'a: 8 nafl (performed as 4 prayers of 2 rak'a each) followed by 3 witr, [73] and can be offered in the same time as Tahajjud. [72]
