1. HOW TO WAKE UP EARLY FOR FAJR PRAYER
By Maestrouzy.com

2.  Alhamdulillah, I have always been a Fajr person
since my childhood. I was used to getting out of bed
just a few minutes after Fajr Azaan, and usually I
catch up with the congregation (Jamaath) in our
Masjid. But last year I made a radical change in my
life;
“I decided to wake up before Fajr Azaan to pray
Tahajjudh”.
 This has so far been the best decision I made in a
while. Now I’m able to devote myself peacefully
for praying Tahajjud and to prepare myself for the
Fajr prayer. However, there are some people in our
community who get shivers down the spine simply
when they are reminded about waking up
early. There are plenty of strategies they can try to
implement in their lives to practice waking up
early.

3. 1.
 First and foremost thing is to know how much sleep
you need to keep your balance. Normally six or
seven hours of sleep at night is required for an
average adult, but it may differ from person to
person.
As you start getting the adequate amount of sleep
you need, it makes much easier to wake up at the
right time.

4. 2.
 One of the most recommended Sunnah of
our beloved Prophet is taking a nap in the afternoon
for about 20 to 30 minutes. This is called the
“Power Nap” because of the amazing health
benefits it provides for the human body.

5. 3.
 The traditional method “ using the alarm clock”
works for many deep sleepers. It’s better to keep
your alarm out of your reach if you have the habit of
hitting the snooze button. I know some people who
follow this trick, but surprisingly they can walk
towards the alarm and shut it off and return to bed
without any disturbance for their sleep.

6. 4.
 Getting a good night’s sleep is crucial for waking up
for Fajr. Forget sheep and counting and listening to
music. Try listening to Quranic recitations by your
favorite Qari. Some minutes of listening to the Holy
Quran can make you a peaceful and a wholesome
sleep.

7. 5.
 We all know that milk carries numerous benefits for
the human body. Drinking a glass of milk at night is
a great way to get a good night’s sleep, and it also
provides you with the energy to wake up early
without any drowsiness. Prophet Muhammad
himself loved milk, and it is reported that he used to
drink milk before going to bed.

8. 6.
 In order to wake up for Fajr, we must know the
importance of Fajr prayer and how much blessed
that time is. If we really don’t understand the
importance, chances are we won’t bother waking
up. I will mention one saying from our beloved
Prophet: “Whoever prays Fajr and Asr will not enter
hell”.

9. 7.
 We must also know the warnings of missing Fajr
prayer. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “The
burdensome prayers for the hypocrites are Isha and
Fajr”. Check your self with this hadith.
 The prophet also said: “whoever prays Fajr, he is
under Allah’s protection” We can clearly understand
from this statement that there is no guarantee of
protection for whoever misses it.”

10. 8.
 For many Muslims Fajr can be a major challenge.
This is simply because they don’t see Fajr prayer
more important than the rest of their worldly affairs.
They find it easy to wake up if there is a plane to
catch next day or if they have any interviews early
in the morning. We must change this unfortunate
attitude and put Allah first in all our affairs.

11. 9.
 Make it a habit to fill your mind with the
remembrance of Allah before you go to sleep.
Recite all the prophetic prayers (Dua) before you
keep the head on your pillow.
Some prayers from the sunnah:
 Ayathul Kursi.
 Surah fathiha and Surah Ikhlas.
 Surah Ikhlas, Surah Munafiqoon and Surah Naas.

12. 10.
 Finally, reward yourself for additional
motivation when you accomplish waking up at Fajr .
It maybe something simple as your favorite snack
or drink with your breakfast.
