Question 1

Do angels really witness the Fajr prayer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they do. The Prophet ﷺ said that the angels of the night and the angels of the day gather at Fajr, and they report your worship to Allah. Imagine that—your name being mentioned before your Creator because you chose to stand and pray while others slept. It’s one of the most beautiful moments of unseen grace.

Question 2

When does Fajr prayer actually start, and why does the time change every day?

Accepted Answer

Fajr begins at true dawn—when the first light spreads horizontally across the sky—and lasts until sunrise. The exact time changes daily because dawn depends on the position of the sun, which shifts slightly throughout the year. Most prayer time apps and masjids in Munro Turuttu calculate it accurately, so it’s best to follow those local times. It’s one of the most peaceful moments of the day to connect with Allah.

Question 3

What does 'As-salatu khayrun minan-nawm' mean and why is it said only for Fajr?

Accepted Answer

The phrase means ‘Prayer is better than sleep.’ It’s recited only in the Fajr Adhan as a gentle reminder of what truly matters in those early moments. Yes, sleep feels good—but standing in prayer at that time brings a peace that lasts much longer. It’s Allah’s invitation to trade a few minutes of rest for blessings that fill your entire day.

Question 4

Is there a community aspect to Fajr prayer?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. When you pray Fajr in congregation, the sense of unity is unlike any other time. It’s quiet, sincere, and full of shared purpose. Even if only a few people show up at the masjid in Munro Turuttu, that small group is deeply blessed. Together, you’re building a bond that’s rooted in faith before the world wakes up.
