Virtues of Qiyam Al-Layl
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.”183,951Praying Taraaweeh at home/putting cream on the body when fasting
32,062How to Pray Tahajjud and Witr
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.208,306If someone usually prays Witr with eleven rak‘ahs and gets up for a third rak‘ah by mistake, can he regard it as Witr?

17,737Do the Angels Look Down from Heaven upon Those Who Pray Tahajjud?
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.48,761Ruling on only reciting Soorat al-Ikhlaas in tahajjud prayers, and repeating it a specific number of times in each rak‘ah
134,962The imam asks others to lead the people in Taraweeh, then he leads them in praying Witr, then they lead more prayers
17,875The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did not do more than eleven rak‘ahs (of night prayer) during Ramadan or at any other time
