The Magical of Fajr Prayer

Assalamualaikum,

Prayer is fundamental practices for every Muslim, and there is five mandatory daily prayer-Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isya'. InsyaAllah here I want to discuss about Fajr prayer or called as Dawn prayer. It consist only two rakat, known as the most short prayer between other four. But, still the most heavy and hardest prayer from all of that. Yes it is, because it is the pray before sunset. We're just to comfortable in our dreams and obviously doesn't want to be wake up for the reality. In the same meaning; People rather be stay in complete darkness rather than wake up and walk for your light or journey, this is what happens in every daily life. May He guide us.

When you think of how hard is to wake up for Fajr prayer, read here post- Fajr prayer is hard? There are several wise words from Prof Dr Abdul Malik Karim Amarullah, Hamka for you to think about. Then, I hope those meaningful article will become the drive or the one why for you to change in Fajr prayer. InsyaAllah start to wake up in time, later make a mid of it then turn to early rise for Fajr prayer. This is not right away, but slowly. In fact to become its as routine need at least six to twelve weeks for normal person. But if you passionate about it, you will get better faster than stated. MasyaAllah. May Allah bless us and our intention. 

In the Adhan, called prayer, you will hard differences between the normal one. It is one line, ''Salah is better than sleep''. Here, Allah remind or keep telling us about His command to get up from the comfort of one's bed and go do salah. Stop from here, do you get a point that we already was set our mind that you wake up for Fajr prayer and not because you have go to work or school. This kind of energy gives you a voluntary feeling, from the heart and not by forced it. Everyone should applied this positive vibes; also I wish that every parents know about this purpose and teach their kids the true right information. Hey, every single soul need a best food for to their mind-especially to get away from fear or unnecessary things. 

Before I forget, in the hadith of Aisha RA, the Prophet said, "Two rakat of prayer before the Fajr prayer are better than the world and whatever is in it''. This is from Abu Hurairah RA, he says Prophet S.A.W said, ''Listen carefully Muslims that have shifts over you like as in angels come and stay with you for the night and then they go up to the heavens-and other angels come and stay during the day and they go up for the night. The shift swap times are Fajr and Asr''. ''Then Allah S.W.T asks them, how did you leave my servant? The angels say, We came to them they were praying, and we left them they were praying''. Think about it. MasyaAllah. What a beautiful performance report if is it 'bout us for the twice daily. 

There also has several recitation in Quran about Fajr prayer for our references, for examples; Surrah Isra 17: 78, ''Establish prayer at the decline of the sun until the darkness of the night and recite the Quran at Fajr. Indeed, the recitation of Fajr is ever witnessed''. Here, did you noticed that Allah equally recommended in read His book in the morning time. In Surrah Fajr, 89: 1, ''By the dawn''. Reading in the morning is a very powerful habit because when you read without a distraction, you will deeply more understand the topic that being bring out. It same to reciting Quran, freshness of the morning will give you more focus and calmness like a remedy or meditation for the healthy body and mind.

After the pray, Muslims will make a dhua' as gratefulness to Allah for giving us life opportunity to gain another day and etc. Wait a minute, do you do you know about sadaqah after Fajr? From Abu Hurairah, the Prophet said, "Oh Allah, replace the better things for the people who sadaqah in the dawn''. Then, to do this please make it practice by keep one container or tube in our prayer room. After you put an small or big amount in it, follow well together with your wishes for the day. InsyaAllah with your intention to help people, Allah will give something good in return.

I missed one thing, before you start pray...you will take a ablution. The wash of certain places follow by Islamic way will give a good startup, especially the hand, face and foot. Beside, if you read some research about Islam and their prayer, you will aware about benefits movement into it. The Fajr prayer for example, give body a good automatic or little forced in certain stretching position after wake up. While sleep, some people will keep in one place or another and I called it as a good pre light exercises before big sweaty one. After all compete Fajr prayer routine, this is your first This complete task show. 

MasyaAllah. I hopes the above are beneficial for all of us. Assalamualaikum.
