Can I pray Tahajjud even if I’m still learning my five daily prayers?

Assalamu alaikum everyone. I’m a Muslimah of Turkish background, born and raised in the UK. I’ll be honest-I’m not as practising as I wish to be. For instance, I haven’t yet learned how to properly perform the five daily salah, though I really want to and inshaAllah I’ll get more regular with it over time. I do fast in Ramadan, stay away from alcohol and pork, and I try my best right now by making dua and doing the prayers I know, but salah is still something I’m working on. I’ve been wanting to pray Tahajjud for a personal reason and to genuinely feel closer to Allah. My question is, even if I’m not praying the five daily prayers yet, can I still pray Tahajjud? Would it be accepted, or should I wait until I’ve properly learned and started doing the daily prayers more consistently? Jazakum Allahu khayran for any advice.

Sis, Allah’s mercy is so vast. Of course you can pray Tahajjud! Don’t let shaytan whisper you’re not “good enough.” Your heart is reaching out, and that’s beautiful. May Allah make your journey easy.
