About Tahajjud in Doha
Tonight's Tahajjud time in Doha is from 12:34 AM to 4:05 AM AST, the last third of the night. The night is measured from Maghrib, 5:34 PM, to the next Fajr, 4:05 AM, then divided into three equal parts. The final third is the recommended Tahajjud window.
Tahajjud is a voluntary night prayer, not one of the five obligatory daily prayers. It is prayed in units of 2 rak'ahs, often 8 to 12 rak'ahs total, and may be followed by Witr. The last third of the night is considered a time when supplications are especially accepted. Doha's night length varies with the season, so the window above, calculated from the Qatar method (Umm al-Qura based, Aladhan method 10), changes slightly each night. Qatar does not use daylight saving time, so all times stay fixed at UTC+3 year-round.
