Whatever you pray after waking up and before the Athan, this is tahajjud and it is the best especially when prayed before Fajr in the last third of the night.

Please let me know up to what time before fajr Athan is reward of the Qiyamul Layal acheived. I woke just 15 to 20 minutes before fajr Athaan and offered two rakah. Is it same as praying in last part of night? Also please let me know Tahajjud timings.
