Fajr prayer

The Fajr prayer consists of two units of prayer (rak’ahs), commencing with the utterance of the Takbir, a declaration of Allah’s greatness. Within the confines of these two rak’ahs lies a wealth of meaning, reflected in both the recitations and the postures. The Surah Al-Fatiha, recited in each rak’ah, is a profound invocation seeking guidance and mercy, setting the stage for a heartfelt connection with One’s Creator.

Following the Fajr prayer, the Sunnah practice encourages the recitation of additional supplications. These prayers serve as a bridge to further engage in divine communion, fostering a state of gratitude and awareness. The ritual culminates with the notion of peace (Salam)—a demonstration of unity with the broader Muslim community and an acknowledgment of the shared quest for righteousness. It is a silent testimony that underscores the importance of inclusivity within the fold of Islam.
