The Muslim’s Guide to Fajr Salah: Tips and Techniques
Mar 13th
Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem,
The Fajr (or dawn) salah can be one of the most difficult prayers for practicing Muslims to uphold for the obvious reason that it typically falls at a time when most of us are probably in our deepest stages of sleep and comfort. While some may find it surprisingly easy to simply sleep through Fajr, it takes an understanding of the importance and virtues of Fajr, and effective “sleep-hostile” techniques, in order to build a consistent Fajr cycle and to ensure we are fulfilling the obligations that Allah (subhana wat’ala) has placed upon us.

We as Muslims, are obligated to send Allah’s Salaah and Salaam upon Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) when his name is mentioned in speech or in writing. Allah Commanded us:
