| The Fajr prayer is the dawn
daily prayer recited by practicing Muslims. It is the first of the
five daily prayers (salah). The five daily prayers collectively
form one pillar of the Five Pillars of Islam. The Fajr prayer is
mentioned by name in the
Qur'an at 24:58. And is considered by Muslims to be more
precious than their entire lives, inspired by the
tafsir of the two
hadiths that were transmitted on behalf of the
Prophet
Muhammad which explain the worth of the Fajr daily prayer as
being
God's most-favoured prayer since others are asleep. This has
made the Fajr daily prayer the most essential and obligatory
congregational prayer to be held by Muslims together in groups
in mosques. |
