Wake-up even if you don’t pray Fajr

Post Managed by: Rayyaa Nida, Burlington, North Carolina, USA.

Waking up before Fajr (the Dawn Prayer) even if you don’t pray, exposes oneself to divine gifts such that one would not be overwhelmed with grief. Wake up before Fajr even by a few minutes, to expose your heart and condition it with spiritual adrenalin that would allow you to look at the world with authentic optimism.

The Prophetic advice we give people who are experiencing severe sadness is to – wake up before Fajr – and expose the hearts to these breezes. Just like the body inhales oxygen the soul requires spiritual oxygen present before Fajr.
