Question 1

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 2

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 3

What are the rewards or benefits of praying Fajr on time?

Accepted Answer

The rewards are immense. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever prays Fajr is under Allah’s protection.' Fajr brings tranquility, spiritual clarity, and even physical energy. It sets the tone for your day—when you begin with obedience, everything else feels lighter. You start your morning already successful in the eyes of Allah.

Question 4

How does praying Fajr affect my mood and mindset for the day?

Accepted Answer

Praying Fajr changes how your day feels—truly. You begin with intention, peace, and focus before the chaos begins. It helps you think clearer, feel calmer, and carry a quiet confidence. There’s a certain light that follows those who start their mornings with Fajr—it’s something you can feel even if others can’t see it.
