When Is Fajr?
Fajr begins at the true dawn and ends at sunrise. Its window is short, so praying it on time is one of the strongest habits a Muslim can build.
What You Pray
- Two rak'ahs of sunnah before the obligatory prayer.
- Two rak'ahs of fard (obligatory).
Step by Step
- Perform wudu if you are not already in a state of purity.
- Face the qibla and make intention.
- Raise your hands, say Allahu Akbar, and begin.
- Recite Surah Al-Fatihah, then a short surah.
- Bow (ruku) with hands on knees, saying the tasbih of ruku.
- Stand up, then prostrate (sujud) twice with tasbih.
- Rise for the second rak'ah and repeat.
- Complete the tashahhud and end with salaam to both sides.
Tips for Waking Up on Time
- Sleep early and consistently.
- Place your phone or alarm far from the bed.
- Sleep in a state of purity when possible.
- Recite short evening du'as before sleeping.
Summary
Fajr is short but foundational. Two sunnah rak'ahs, two fard, sincere intention, and a small daily habit that anchors the whole day.
Key Takeaways
- Fajr begins at true dawn.
- Two sunnah, two fard.
- Sleep habits shape prayer habits.
