  1. fajr

    The Fajr prayer (Arabic: صلاة الفجر ṣalāt al-fajr, "dawn prayer") is one of the five mandatory salah (Islamic prayer), to be performed anytime starting from the moment of dawn, but not after sunrise. As an Islamic day starts at sunset, the Fajr prayer is technically the third prayer of the day. If counted from midnight, it is usually the first prayer of the day. The Isha prayer, the daily prayer directly before the Fajr prayer, usually does not take place after midnight (depending on location).The Fajr prayer is mentioned by name in the Quran at sura 24 (An-Nur) ayah. Inspired by the tafsir of the two hadiths that were transmitted on behalf of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the worth of the Fajr daily prayer is explained as being God's most-favoured prayer since others are asleep. During the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the start of Fajr prayer time marks the beginning of the obligatory daily fasting (sawm). Al-Fajr is also the name of the eighty-ninth chapter (sura) of the Qur'an. The five daily prayers collectively are one pillar of the Five Pillars of Islam, in Sunni Islam, and one of the ten Practices of the Religion (Furū al-Dīn) according to Shia Islam.

  1. Fajr

    The Fajr prayer is the first of the five daily prayers offered by practising Muslims. The five daily prayers collectively form one pillar of the Five Pillars of Islam, in Sunni Islam, and one of the ten Practices of the Religion according to Shia Islam. The Fajr prayer is mentioned by name in the Qur'an at sura 24 ayah. Inspired by the tafsir of the two hadiths that were transmitted on behalf of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the worth of the Fajr daily prayer is explained as being God's most-favoured prayer since others are asleep. This has made the Fajr daily prayer the most essential and obligatory congregational prayer to be held by Muslims together in groups in mosques. Fajr prayer requires two fard rakaʿāt. In a congregation, the leader of the prayer recites aloud. However, two sunnah rakaʿāt are highly recommended prior to the two Fard rakaʿāt. The time period within which the Fajr daily prayer must be offered is from the beginning of dawn to sunrise. The call to Fajr prayer marks the beginning of the obligatory daily fasting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The Qur'an relates a sura, Al-Fajr, by the same name.
