Question 1

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 2

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 3

What is the Sunnah prayer before Fajr, and why is it so important?

Accepted Answer

Before the two obligatory rak‘ahs of Fajr, there are two Sunnah rak‘ahs that the Prophet ﷺ never missed—even when traveling. He described them as 'better than the world and everything in it.' They’re short but full of reward. Praying them adds beauty and completion to your Fajr, like preparing your heart before meeting the day.

Question 4

How can I wake up for Fajr consistently? I struggle no matter how much I try.

Accepted Answer

You’re not alone—waking up for Fajr is a test of love and discipline. Try practical steps like sleeping earlier, setting multiple alarms, or asking someone to call you. But beyond habits, make du‘a—ask Allah to help you answer His call. Once it becomes routine, your heart starts waking up before your alarm does. It’s a small victory with huge spiritual rewards.
