About Fajr Prayer
Fajr is the first of the five daily prayers, consisting of 2 obligatory (fard) rakaat prayed before sunrise. It is widely considered the most spiritually rewarding of the five prayers, and waking for it is a mark of sincere faith.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "The two rak'ahs of Fajr are better than the world and everything in it." (Muslim). Allah ﷻ also says in the Quran: "…and the recitation of dawn — indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed." (17:78)
