Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 Tonala 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 4

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.
