Author: Rebecca Pena Hikal The Benefits of Fajr – Rebecca Pena
Asalaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
The Prophet Muhammad ( pbuh) said: “ the two rak’ahs ( before) Fajr, are better than this world and everything in it.”
Prayer as a whole is one of the five pillars of Islam ☪️ holding a place of such importance and benefit, the the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( pbuh) stated that the observance of daily prayers that separates belief from disbelief. It is an essential part of our faith. The word Fajr means dawn in Arabic. In the same way that the sun ☀️ sustains all life on earth and causes all things to grow, it is in that same way that Fajr provides light and guidance, strength, and support to our hearts ♥️. Fajr ensures that we begin the day with light and life. Starting your day, connecting with Allah and being in the presence of his angels, sets the tone for the entire day, blessing your day with barakah ( blessings) and noor ( light). The importance of prayer is conveyed constantly throughout the Quran and was also stressed by our Prophet Muhammad ( pbuh)
“ know that among your duties prayer is foremost “ Prophet Muhammad ( pbuh)
However, waking up for Fajr can pose as a difficult task for many of us. Getting out of our warm, comfortable bed when we feel our bodily needs for sleep outweigh our spiritual needs. Especially at the time of Fajr. We are human after all. Allah wants us to work on maintaining a connection with Him. A connection that needs to be nurtured and cared for. Here are a few things that help me.
- Reminding myself that I am doing this for Allah ( swt) Before I sleep, I remind myself that waking up for prayer not only benefits me, but please Him. If I can’t even sacrifice a few minutes of sleep, to stand in front of Him, how can I expect Him to grant me sabr ( patience) and strength throughout my day?
- I remind myself of the rewards of prayer every night. An account of the previous day and off of the blessings received attached to my prayer, motivates serves as a good reminder.
- Every night I make a sincere dua before bed. I ask that Allah ( swt) help in waking me up on time for Fajr. If you call on Him sincerely, He will not let you down. After all dua is far more effective than any alarm clock.
- Speaking of alarm clocks. Mine sits about 5 feet away from my bed. I use my phone but still not having it close to the bed, forces me to get up and begin my day. And forget that the snooze button even exists.
Prayer increases our awareness of Allah. It gives us an opportunity to seek and ask Him for forgiveness therefore, making us more aware of our wrongdoings and sins. Prayer makes our day more fruitful and blessed and serves as a shield against evil deeds and bad habits. When we pray, we connect with Allah. It satisfies our spiritual needs and helps us to become humble. It helps us to stay on a righteous path. There are so many benefits to Salah. Every morning we are given a new opportunity to repent and return to Allah. At times it may seem difficult, however, when peace descends upon us, it is the greatest feeling. May Allah make it easy for us all.
