My First Personal Tahajjud Prayer Experience

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I grew up without being taught how to pray properly - I was just told to mimic others during family gatherings. Today, I came across an animation showing a sister performing tahajjud, and it inspired me to try it myself for the first time. I set up with the Quran beside me and followed along with the video. The first rakat I mirrored her movements, and during the second I read directly from the Quran. Honestly, it got a bit messy when my prayer clothes slipped during the second sujud - I was trying to hold everything together while continuing (pretty embarrassing, lol)! I ended up completing four prostrations total. Later I read that specific duas should be recited while in prostration - I didn't vocalize them, but I did reflect on their meanings in my heart. My question to those more knowledgeable: Will Allah accept this prayer despite the imperfections? And is it possible to perform it again now? It's currently 2 AM here.

The fact you're even asking shows your sincerity. That's enough for acceptance, inshaAllah. And yes, pray now!

The clothes thing is so relatable 😂 My hijab always slips during sujood. Your effort is beautiful and inshaAllah accepted.

MashaAllah sister, that's so beautiful! Don't worry about the small slip-ups, Allah sees your pure intention. That's what matters most.

Yes, you can still pray it now! Tahajjud is valid until Fajr. And Allah is Al-Ghafoor, don't stress the imperfections.

It's great you tried! I'm new to this too. I think you can make it up by praying it now. The night isn't over yet!
