Importance of Salat-ul-Fajr

[AzIzAzIzA]

The Extreme Importance of Waking Up for Fajr Salaah
 
A man woke up early in order to Pray the Fajr Prayer in the masjid.He got dressed, made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid.On his way to the masjid, the man fell and his clothes got dirty. He got up, brushed himself off, and headed home.At home,He changed His Clothes, made his ablution, and was, again, on his way to the masjid.
 
On his way to the masjid, He Fell again and at the Same Spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home.
At home he, once again, Changed His Clothes, made his ablution and was on his way to the masjid.
 
On his way to the masjid, He Met a Man Holding a Lamp.
He asked the man of his identity and the man replied 'I Saw You Fall Twice on your way to the masjid, So I Brought a Lamp so I can Light Your Way.' The first man thanked him profusively and the two where on their way to the masjid.
 
Once at the masjid, the first man asked the man with the lamp to come in and pray Fajr with him. The second man refused.
The first man asked him a couple more times and, again, the answer was the same. The first man asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray. The second man replied I am Shaitan. The first man was shocked at this reply.
 
Shaitan went on to explain, 'I saw you on your way to the masjid and it was I who made you fall.
When you went home, cleaned yourself and went back on your way to the masjid, Allah forgave all of your sins.
 
I made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to stay home, but rather, you went back on your way to the masjid.Because of that, Allah forgave all the sins of the people of your household .
 
I was AFRAID if i made you fall one more time, then Allah would forgive the sins of the people of your village, so I made sure that you reached the masjid safely..' 
 
 
So do not let Shaitan benefit from his actions.
Do not put off a good deed that you intend to do because you never know how much reward you might receive from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good.
 
 
 
If forwarding this message will bother you, or take too much time from you, then don't do it, but you will not get the reward for it, which is great.
 
Imagine, that if you forward this, you will receive 240 good deeds, and so will I for sending it to you! Isn't it easy to simply Press Forward ' and receive this Reward?
 
May Allah (Subhana Wataallah) help us all to be like this man and be devoted to our Prayers.

Assalamu Alykum,

Wow! definitely very important.  Sometimes this is what happens to me I set up the alarm to wake up for Fajr prayer and for some reason I cant' wake up I know this is shaytan keeping me from doing my obligations and I have missed some prayers for that reason but Allah is always there and is so Merciful i try to make up the prayer at noon when I pray the afternoon prayer Dhur.  Is this o.k. or not I no is not right to miss a prayer and I'm trying no to miss any of the 5 prayers anymore since I recently started praying Alhamdulillah.  May Allah protect us all from shaytan.

Assalam walaikum sister.

It is important for us to pray on time so you should make every effort to pray at the correct time unless you cannot excuse yourself (for example surgeons on the operating table are allowed to pray late since clearly they cannot leave their work).  However we are all human and as you said the sheitan is everywhere and we may miss a prayer or forget to pray on time.  It is best to pray the missed prayer as soon as you realize you did miss the time.  In the case of fajr you are not allowed to pray during sunrise so if you just miss the time and realize it is now sunrise you have to wait at least until the sun has risen and then you can make up the prayer.  As you said you can also do it at thohr.  However this should be a rare event, make every effort possible to pray on time since a missed payer does not have the same reward and it shoudl not become a pattern. 

Inshallah this helped.

Walykum Assalam,

Thank you.  I know It is very important and I feel really bad every time I miss a prayer mostly Al Fajr that's the one I miss all the time.  I will try my best not to miss it anymore.  May Allah protect us all from shaytan and all the evilness.
