Qiyam Al-Layl is a confirmed Sunnah. Qiyam Al-Layl plays a great role in strengthening one's faith and helping one to do good deeds. Allah praises those who have faith and are pious for their noble characteristics and good deeds, one of the most special of which is Qiyam Al-Layl. It is one of the means of avoiding the punishment of Hell and attaining Paradise. The Prophet said: “The best prayer after the obligatory prayer is prayer at night.”

The Sunnah with regard to how to pray tahajjud and witr includes: 1. Offering tahajjud two (rak’ahs) by two, 2. Starting with tahajjud first, 3. Witr should be the last of your prayers at night. 4. Not delaying any of tahajjud or Witr until the break of dawn.

There is no evidence to support the view that the Angels look down from heaven upon those who pray tahajjud at night as the people of earth look at the stars of the sky. What we have in the texts of the Quran and Sunnah concerning the virtue of Qiyam Al-Layl is sufficient, and we have no need for this report.
