Question 1

What makes the Fajr prayer so special in Islam?

Accepted Answer

Fajr is deeply loved in Islam because it begins your day with remembrance of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever prays Fajr is under Allah’s protection for the whole day. It’s a time when the heart is most sincere, distractions are few, and your du‘as carry a special purity. It’s not just about rising early—it’s about beginning with light, inside and out.

Question 2

What if I miss Fajr by accident? Can I make it up later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you miss a prayer unintentionally due to a valid reason like sleeping or forgetting, the Prophet's ﷺ teaching is to pray it as soon as you remember. This is an act of Allah's mercy. For prayers missed intentionally in the past, it is a major sin that requires sincere repentance (Tawbah) and, according to the vast majority of scholars, you must also make up the missed prayer. In either case, do not let guilt lead to despair. Let it be a motivation to repent, make it up, and guard your prayers diligently in the future.

Question 3

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 San Bernardo, that small group is deeply blessed. Together, you’re building a bond that’s rooted in faith before the world wakes up.

Question 4

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.
