Fajr: The Key to Blessings and Success (1)

When the whole world is lost in the valley of dreams, a believer leaves his soft and warm bed and prostrates himself before Allah. This is the moment when the Lord of the Universe is pleased and showers His countless blessings on His servant. The time of Fajr is, in fact, a golden opportunity to gain closeness to Allah. This is the hour when good deeds descend on the earth and prayers reach the Divine Throne unhindered. Fajr: The Key to Blessings and Success (1)

Missing Fajr prayer, a great loss:

In today’s busy life, the love of sleep has distanced us from this precious act of worship. We remain engrossed in worldly affairs until late at night, and as soon as we hear the morning call to prayer, we fall further into the embrace of sleep. Have you ever thought about what we are missing? A single Fajr prostration is the key to the success of this world and the hereafter, which we miss just for a few moments of sleep.

Many people skip Fajr by citing fatigue from the day, but remember that this fatigue is just a worldly test, while Fajr prayer is a source of spiritual refreshment and success for you. Those who observe Fajr not only find blessings in their lives, but their day also begins in the best way. Fajr: The Key to Blessings and Success (1)

The Cloak of Allah’s Mercy:

The person who attends the door of Allah at Fajr time comes under the protection of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Whoever prays Fajr prayer comes under the protection of Allah.” (Muslim: 657)

Just think! What greater blessing can there be than coming under the protection of the greatest king in the world? Fajr prayer is not only an obligation, but it is also a means of gathering Allah’s blessings in your life.

This is the time when the angels witness that a servant is bowing down before his Lord. Those who wake up for Fajr come under the special grace of Allah, and the doors of blessings, ease, and success open in their lives. Fajr: The Key to Blessings and Success (1)

Fajr: The Ladder of Success:

Everyone in the world wants success, but the real success is that which is achieved with the pleasure of Allah. Those who wake up at Fajr, their lives are filled with peace, blessings, and abundance of sustenance. If you study the life of any successful person, you will find that waking up on time and fulfilling their responsibilities are a must in their morning routine. Fajr prayer teaches us the value of time and trains us to live an organized life.

It is a fact that people who wake up early in the morning are more active, prosperous, and successful throughout the day. A big difference between worldly progress and spiritual progress is that worldly progress is temporary while spiritual progress is beneficial forever. Fajr: The Key to Blessings and Success (1)

What should we do?

1. Understand the importance of Fajr and make it an integral part of our lives.

2. Make it a habit to go to bed early at night so that you can wake up on time.

3. Set an alarm to wake yourself up from sleepiness or assign a loved one to wake you up.

4. Wake up at dawn, recite the Quran, and ask Allah for solutions to your problems.

5. After the dawn prayer, praise Allah and pray for sustenance and success.

6. Take a walk or spend some time in silence after the dawn prayer to gain peace of mind for the day.

Finally:

The dawn prayer is a gift that is only granted to those fortunate enough to appreciate it. It is the key to the success of this world and the hereafter. The person who prostrates before Allah at dawn is protected from the troubles of this world, and his heart is blessed with a special peace.

Also remember that the person who misses the dawn prayer one day opens the doors to hardening his heart and being inclined towards sins. The greatest attack of Satan is that he makes the believer lazy and keeps him away from Fajr.  Fajr: The Key to Blessings and Success (1) Finished
