As salamu alikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
Respected scholar, plz could u tell me the timings for tahajjud as i have heard of it according to the parts in night like first part, second part of the night likewise, but still couldnt understand the correct timing of it. If the fajar prayer is at 5 a.m and the isha prayer is at 8 p.m , then the tahajjud timings will be what? Will it be between 12 pm to 3 pm?
JAZAK ALLAH KHAIR!

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Again we encourage you to join our website to learn about your religion.

Tuhujjud is an arabic word that means Praying at night and it may be performed anytime after Isha up until Fajr:

While describing the salah of the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam, Anas would say: "If we wanted to see him praying during the night, we could see him praying. If we wanted to see him sleeping during the night, we could see him sleeping. And sometimes he would fast for so many days that we thought he would not leave fasting throughout that month. And sometimes he would not fast (for so many days) that we thought he would not fast during that month." This is related by Ahmad, al-Bukhari, and anNasa' i .

Commenting on this subject, Ibn Hajar says: "There was no specific time in which the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam would perform his late night prayer; but he would do whatever was easiest for him."

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
