“Whoever prays the Fajr prayer, is then under Allah’s protection. So beware, O son or daughter of Adam, that Allah does not call you to account for being absent from His protection for any reason.”
Since we are all spiritual beings, it is only logical to start our daily physical activity with divine guidance in supplication during the first prayer of the day. This will set us up for clarity and peace in Allah.
No wonder there is something very special about this time in the morning. To be under the guard of The One who created us and the very world we live in is indeed an extraordinary endowment. Imagine having the protection of the most powerful being that has ever existed for the rest of the day, every day. Is it not worth winning the battle of the bed for?
Some of the greatest people in history seized these very hours, which is why they managed to achieve exponentially more than we can, using the same 24 hours each day.
This portion of time is what allows us to train ourselves, and prepare our minds, our hearts, and our characters ready to take on the rest of the world and the rest of the day.
It is a time we reconnect with our mission and our purpose. We meet with our creator to begin our day and we are no longer lost like the man without a mission, wandering throughout the day.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Allah made the early hours blessed for my Ummah.”
You too should imbibe this culture; starting your day with morning supplication, committing the day to Allah.
