Please tell me any way/ and Dua to wake up in the middle of the night and offer the Tahajjud prayer and read Quran and wake up for Fajr Prayer as it is in Surah Muzammil.
Answer
DUA TO ASSIST ONE IN AWAKENING FOR TAHAJJUD
A person remarked to Abdullah bin Abbas [radhiyallahu anhu], "I always
intend awakening in the last portion of the night to perform Salaat but
sleep overpowers me." Ibne Abbas [radhiyallahu anhu] replied, "Before
sleeping recite from "QUL LAW KANAL BAHRU MIDADAL..." to the end of Surah
Kahf. Allah Ta'ala will waken you at whatever time you intend rising."
