SLEEPING AND MISSING SALAT AL- FAJR?
Many of us complain that we miss Salat al-Fajr and hardly even Pray it at right time. Some of us wake up after the sun has risen. Some complain that they try to wake up at Right time but don't succeed.
before discussing the solution of this problem, a Muslim should know the importance of Salaat Al-Fajr.
Importance of Salat al-Fajr:
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Whoever prays the dawn prayer in congregation, it is as if he had prayed the whole night long." (Muslim, p. 454, no. 656; al-Tirmidhi, 221).
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also said:
"The most burdensome prayers for the hypocrites are salaat al-'isha' and salaat al-fajr, but if they only knew what they contain, they would come even if they had to crawl." (Reported by Imaam Ahmad, al-Musnad, 2/424; Saheeh al-Jaami', 133).
"Whoever prays fajr is under the protection of Allaah. Do not put yourselves in a situation where Allaah has to call you to account for your negligence." (Reported by al-Tabaraani, 7/267; Saheeh al-Jaami', no. 6344).
"Angels come to you in shifts by night and by day. They meet at salaat al-fajr and salaat al-'asr, then those who had stayed with you at night ascend, and are asked by the One Who knows better than they: 'How did you find My servants?' They say, 'We left them when they were praying, and we came to them when they were praying.'" (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 2/33).
"The best of prayers in the sight of Allaah is the dawn prayer on Friday, in congregation." (Reported by Abu Na'eem in al-Hilyah, 7/207, and in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1566).
According to a saheeh hadeeth:
"Whoever prays al-Bardayn will enter Paradise." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 2/52). Al-Bardayn are fajr and 'asr.
It is reported that Ibn 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said:
"If we did not see a person at fajr and 'isha' prayers, we would think badly of him." (Reported by al-Tabaraani).
They thought badly of a person who was absent from these two prayers because regular performance of them is an indication of a person's faith and a measure of his sincerity. Other prayers may be easier to do because they are more convenient to a person's circumstances and fit in with his work and his sleep, but only those who are determined and sincere, people whom one hopes are good people, will be able to pray fajr and 'isha' regularly in congregation.
