advantages of offering the fajr

As one of the pillars of Islam, it is essential for Muslims to listen to the five-time-call of Allah every day. Due to the hassle and bustle of our daily lives, we often forget about responding to His call. Regardless of what you may be going through, bowing down your head to Him and talking to Him eases your mind. This is just something spiritual – safe to say, it cannot be explained through ‘logic’.

Starting your day by having a conversation with Him, telling Him that He is the supreme power which runs us and this universe and asking Him for help sure leads to having a meaningful day.

Allah Almighty is so lenient to us, He blesses us His blessings when we just think about something good.

“Those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity — they will have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” — Surah al-Baqarah (Holy Quran, 2:277)

Fajr – The First Call Of Prayer Of The Day

Fajr takes place before the sunset – a time during which most of the Muslims are asleep. It is this very fact that it is taken as a challenge; letting go of your sleep, cleansing yourself and standing to pray.

Dawn – the English translation of the Arabic words Fajr, which comes from the root word infijar, meaning burst or explode. As the sun comes out after the call to Fajr prayer, it shows the clarity the world gets.

1. Cleansing Of Soul

Not just Fajr, but the five prayers, overall, hold a lot of importance in the light of Quran and Sunnah. As per the Prophet Muhammad SAWW, “Know that among your duties, prayer is foremost”.

Prayer altogether is the one act which cleanses your mind and soul. Starting your day by this way of cleansing yourself will go a long way.

2. A Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAWW

As one of the five pillars of Islam, our Prophet Muhammad PBUH presented how it makes a disbeliever a believer and therefore, it has been given the significant importance in terms of seeing our faith.

Every daily prayer has its benefits – benefits which altogether make our lives better.
