4. Procedure and Intention of Tahajud Prayer
Tahajud prayer, an act of worship rich in meaning and virtue for Muslims, offers a golden opportunity to draw closer to the Creator in the stillness of the night.
According to kemenag.go.id, the intention for this prayer is recited in the heart while raising the takbiratul ihram with the phrase, "Ushall sunnatat tahajjudi rak'ataini lillahi ta'ala," which means, "I intend to pray the Sunnah Tahajud two rak'ahs for Allah the Exalted."
The implementation is similar to other Sunnah prayers, with an unlimited number of rak'ahs, generally performed in sets of two rak'ahs.
After the takbir, recite the opening prayer, Al-Fatihah, and a short surah, and perform the movements of the prayer with full concentration.
After the salam, it is recommended to recite dhikr and supplications, one of which is the prayer taught by Imam Bukhari and Muslim, expressing praise and servitude to Allah.
By understanding and practicing the procedure and supplications of the tahajud prayer, every Muslim can attain the blessings and extraordinary benefits from this noble act of worship.
