Tahajjud namaz how to perform?
Assalamaylikum
I'm quite new to islam and I need some guidance on tahajjud namaz.
I know it should be done in the time between isha and fajr and I know it's about 8 rakat performed in sets of 2.
I need to know though like when should I read the Surats (during or after namaz) and what Surats u can read, I'm a little bit confused about tahajjud, if someone could guide me properly on this it would be very helpful
Thanks
Still no one has answered my question properly? Already read wiki doesn't explain properly

There are 2, 4, 6, or 8 nafil rakahs in sets of 2. The sunnah is eight rakahs, i.e. four sets of 2. but you can do any number.
The time is in the middle of the night any time between isha and fajr. the sunnah is in the second third of the night, go back to sleep, then get up again for fajr.

Wa alaikum salam Tahajjud namaz is included in qiyamul lail means prayer at night which is usually after we finish to perform fard isha prayer Muhammad pbuh did it usually at the lats third of a night abot two or one hour before fajr You must go to sleep first and then wake up before fajr by setting an alarm clock.Tahajuud prayer should be done just like ordinary prayer with wudu and we should stand towards the kabaa.It is peformed 4 times of two raka'ats plus witr of three raka'ats with one tashahud and ended with salam so the total is 11 raka'ats. You should read Al Fatihah plus one another short surat such as An Naas,Al Falaq,Al Ikhlash etc in each raka'at You can read the same another surat if you could not memorize yet some of short surats. After you finish tahajjud prayer you can make dzikir and dua in your own language in line with your intention

tahajjud is performed in exactly the same manner as any other prayer if you pray in sets of 2 then recite surah fatiha and another surah in each raka any surah you know can be recited. the prayer is exactly the same way as if you were praying 2 raka of fajr the only 1 difference is that instead of making intention for compulsory fajr prayer you make intention at the start to do optional tahajjud prayer.

Wasslam.
It's only, 4 Rakat. Only 2 Rakat Each.
Tahajjud Prayer is from, after 12am to before Fajir Prayer.
You can read any Surah, the Surah you use in 5 times prayer.
You can use Surah from the 10 Surah we use during, 5 times prayer.
