If possible please let me know the most appropriate dua for this salah.
Thanks in advance..

Hi
I'm not a mufti but I searched for the answer on islamonline website
What I found is that the time when we can pray it is after the mid of the night and it's preferred to pray it as muthanna which means praying Two rak'ahs and after finishing them pray another two until you finish and you can pray as much as you want before the fajr

Salam! I have found this information for you

Tahajjud may be performed in the early part of the night, the middle part of the night, or the latter part of the night, but after the obligatory `Isha’ Prayer (night Prayer).It is best to delay this Prayer to the last third portion of the night.

`Amr ibn `Absah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying:

“The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah the Exalted One at that time, then do so.”

One should begin with two quick rak`ahs and then one may pray whatever one wishes after that.

It depends on when, where, and how you can. If it`s difficult for you to wake up in the third part of the night, then it`s from sunnah in that case to pray before you sleep. SaHabah -rAa- were different in that too. The Leader of the believers `Uthmaan -rAa- used to pray in one raka`ah behind Ka`bah all Qur`an completely in one time. Beat that! You can`t. So people are different. Tahajjud is your personal time with Allaah. Make the best of it, and don`t make it too hard for yourself, because it`s more beloved to your Lord that you keep it every night even if it`s just 2 rak`ahs plus witr, than if you pray so much at one time and then you leave it completely. Nabi -sAaws- would pray every night 11 rak`ahs, but if he was travelling, then only witr - and the 2 rak`ahs before fajr. And the du`aa he told when Aisha asked if it`s leila Al-Qadr: "Allaahumma Innaka `Afuwwun tuHibbu-l`afwa fa`fu `annii" ("O Allaah, verily You are Forgiving, you love forgiveness, so forgive me!") must be one of the best, or these 2 were from what Allaahs Messenger -sAaws- asked the most in his life: "Allaahumma(or:`Rabbanaa`) aatinaa fi-ddunjaa Hasanataw-wa fi-l-aakhirati Hasanataw-wa qinaa `athaab An-Naar" ("O, Allaah/our Lord give us good in the world and good in the hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire!", and "Allaahumma Muqalliba-l-quluub thabbit qalbii `alaa Diinika" ("O, Allaah . The Turner of the hearts, establish my heart firmly upon Your Religion!") äämiin.
The length of the night and its parts is counted from the sunset (solaah al-maqhrib time) until the dawn starts to appear (solaah as-subH time). The third part of the night is very, very good time to worship Allaah.

Sorry I didn`t leave references to evidences, but I`ve learned all this through many trustworthy sources in sha Allaah. And Allaah descends to the first heaven on the 3.part of the night -as is authenticated from Nabii (sAaws) in a way He knows best.

Thanks. May Allaah reward you all with Al--Jannah. Wa `aleikum as-Salaam.
