Reciting short Surahs in the optional late night Prayer

Q 3: What is the ruling on reciting short Surahs (Qur'anic chapters) in Tahajjud (optional late night Prayer), such as Surah Al-Nas or other short Surahs? May Allah reward you with the best for serving Muslims and Islam. A: It is permissible for the person who offers Tahajjud or other supererogatory Prayer to recite any Surah after Al-Fatihah even if it is a short Surah. However, the longer Surahs the person recites, the better and more rewarding their Salah will be, except when offering the supererogatory Prayer before the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer which should be brief.
