@abulayl

This is what i understood from your post.

Qiyaam Al Layl = Spending the whole night or a part of it in Ibadah, which maybe anything like Salah, reciting Quran dikr etc.

Tahajjud = Praying nafl Salah after a period of Sleep at night.
Edit 2: (according to second opinion it is not necessary to sleep)

Am i right?

Edit: I would like someone to confirm if the sleeping before Tahajjud is Shart(necessary condition) or just Sunnah.

P.s. I thought Qiyaam Al Layl was standing at night in salah and was same as Tahajjud, I guess i was wrong.

Edit 2: I just noticed the bold part

But tahajjud is exclusively praying, and there are two opinions concerning it. The first is that it means praying at any time of the night, which is the view of the majority of fuqaha’.

The second is that it is prayer after sleeping. See: al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 2/232.
