Prayer is better than Sleep
Getting up for Fajr is a tough task for most of us. Alarms goes on and Shaytan starts his routine. We struggle to fight him to get up for that precious two Raka’a.
However with what mindset do we get up? Just pray two raka’a in express speed and jump back to bed?
We easily tend to wave off the two Raka’as of Sunnah before Fajr.
If you knew the benefit, would you start sacrificing your extra few minutes of sleep? Here you go:
‘A’isha reported Allaah’s Messenger as saying: The two rak’ahs at dawn are better than this world and what it contains.” (Muslim, 1573)
Action Plan: Insha Allah we should not have any trouble now in giving that extra effort to push our self for the benefit of a life Time!

‘A’isha reported: I have never seen the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) hastening as much in observing supererogatory as two rak’ahs before the (Fard) of the dawn prayer. (Muslim)
‘A’isha reported that the Prophet of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said about the two (supererogatory) rak’ahs of the dawn: They are dearer to me than the whole world. (Muslim)
‘A’isha reported that the Prophet of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) used to observe two (supererogatory) rak’ahs in between the call to prayer and the Iqama of the dawn prayer. (Muslim)
Jazakallahu khairan.
JazakAllaha..!
