   Praying Fajr reflects how much you love Allah the Almighty

The
happiness of that guy was tremendous when a well-known company accepted
him to work for it. He was over the moon as he was the only accepted
candidate. 

He signed the contract that implies that he should
agree on respecting the company working hours, delivering weekly
reports about his work and activities, and accepting to be punished for
any delinquency  ..... read more

Soon
later, the guy met his manager and said to him, "From tomorrow onwards,
I will not come in time. And I will not deliver my weekly reports in
time either; instead they will be delayed for a while. In spite of all
that, I will not allow you to punish me, and you don't have the right
to kick me out from work." 

If we imagine such a situation, we
will laugh at the behaviour of that guy. No-one will see him but an
insane and a fool person. How come can someone want to take his rights
whereas he is not committed to his own obligations?! 

  So, why most of us do the same strange action or even worse?
(As
we commit a worse sin against the Law of Allah the Almighty.) How can a
sane person allow himself to enjoy all Allah's graces: such as food,
drink, clothes and life pleasures; whereas he doesn't offer Allah the
simplest obligatory He obligates him to do, viz. Praying?!
 And even
if he prays, then he doesn't pray in time or he prays like a rooster
(i.e. he prays too hastily and carelessly). He neither complies with
his praying nor apprehends what he says. 

  According to our web site visitors survey in the arabic section of IslamWay.com that included more than 4000 persons:  
  14% of them never pray Fajr in its time
  16% of them rarely pray Fajr in its time<>
  33%
 of them often pray Fajr in its time
  35% of them always pray Fajr in its time

Subhan
Allah!! (*) We are not talking about jurisprudence about which scholars
disagreed or even a Sunnah that one has a choice to do or not. We are
talking about ABC Islam. We are talking about praying that Allah
Almighty obligates on all Muslims - whatever their conditions are. 

  When Allah the Almighty ordered Muslims to pray He warned those who delay the prayer after its designated time, saying:  

"So woe to the worshippers Who are neglectful Of their prayers" [Surat Al-ma'oon 107:4-5]

The interpreters said that what is meant by this verse is delaying
prayer after its designated time.They also said : "woe" is a very deep
sheer black valley in Hell. Don't we believe in Allah's Words? 

A lot of Muslims nowadays neglect Fajr prayer as if they it was not
there. That's why they pray it much later than its time. In addition,
some of them pray it immediately before the Noon prayer. Others may
never pray it even for compensation (Qaddaa). So why all this laziness
against what Allah the Almighty deserves? Don't we proclaim that we
love Allah the Almighty more than any thing else? Once one of us loves
someone a true love, he will be willing to meet him. He may keep
thinking of him most of the time. Once he has a date with him, he
canNOT sleep until he meets the one he loves. So, do those lazy prayers
who do not pray Fajr prayer really love Allah? Do they really respect
His Orders? Are they willing to meet Him?. 

Let's imagine that a multi-millionaire offered one of his employees
$1000 every day, just on one condition, viz. the employee must call
daily at his employer's house in the morning as to wake him up then
leave. Such a simple task may take the employee 10 minutes only. This
marvellously generous offer will be valid as long as the employee keeps
awaking his employer regularly. On the other hand, this offer will be
cancelled permanently, and the employee will be asked to return all the
money he received, if he neglects to awake his employer once without an
excuse. 
<>

So, if you, my Muslim brother, were that employee , will you neglect to
call at your employer's house? Won't you carefully intend to wake up
daily to get the one thousand dollar? Won't you - once you failed one
morning - try with all means to prove that you were truly unable to
wake up?. 

 Allah has the higher example, so what about you
my dear brother towards your Lord, Allah the Almighty? He is the ONLY
ONE who gives you your means of living and who bestowed you with every
thing, whose blessings on you are utterly much more than millions of
dollars daily. It is Him Who says: 

"...if you try to count the blessings of Allah , you will fail...."
 [Surat Ibrahim: 14 : 34]

Doesn't this Lord, the The Most Merciful, the Most Generous deserve
that you wake up for Him every morning at about 5.30 a.m. so as to
thank Him just in 5 or 10 minutes for His great blessings and his
generous favours? 

                                 The judgement against those who neglect praying Fajr Prayer in time:  

    Allah the Almighty says:

"...for such prayers are enjoined on Believers at stated times." [Surat Annesaa: 4 : 103]

Islam
is a comprehensive way of life… It is like an agreement between The
Great Lord and His humble servant. According to this agreement, the
servant commits to certain obligations before Allah. With respect to
these obligations, Allah would grant the servant rights and privileges.
It is insensible that you agree to this contract, then, soon
afterwards, you do whatever you like and neglect whatever you do not
like. Allah Almighty says in the Quran: 
"
O ye who believe! Enter into Islam whole-heartedly; and follow not the
footsteps of the Evil One; for he is to you an avowed enemy." [Surat Al-baqara: 2 : 208]

The interpreters said: this means to accept Islam with all its
legislation and rules. Allah got exasperated with the people of Israel
when they performed what they liked from His religion and neglected the
rest. That's why He addresses them saying: <>
  "…Then
is it only a part of the Book that ye believe in, and do ye reject the
rest? But what is the reward for those among you who behave like this
but disgrace in this life? And on the Day of Judgment they shall be
consigned to the most grievous penalty. For Allah is not unmindful of
what ye do." [Surat Al-baqara: 2 : 85]
 As far as one's
punctuality on attending prayers is considered, The Prophet (peace be
upon him) sees those who do not punctually attend Fajr (dawn) and Ishaa
(night) Salat in congregation as being sheer hypocrites "Munafeqeen".
So what do you think of those who do not pray Fajr at all, neither in
congregation nor alone (at home)? 

The Prophet (pbuh) said: "There
is no prayer more difficult to attend for hypocrites than Fajr and
Ishaa. And if they knew what's in them (i.e. the good reward - thawab)
they would attend them even if they had to come crawling." (Narrated by Bukhari)  

Allah Almighty mentions that He disavows whosoever neglects the obligatory Salat. Besides, The Prophet (pbuh) said: "Do not ever leave Salat on purpose because whoever does so then he is disavowed by Allah and His Messenger." (Narrated by Imam Ahmad)  

    So do you like, Oh Muslim brother and sister, for the closest one to  you to disavow you?
 So how do you neglect the Salat and cause Allah to  be disavow you?  

       Well....now what have I to do?  

Every one us should set an alarm clock to wake him for Fajr Salat daily.  

We
should give Salat its status in our lives, and we should discipline our
jobs according to the Salat regular times. (Unfortunately, we simply do
the opposite!) 

We should sleep early and wake up
for Fajr and then leave for work. Soon after Fajr, Allah distributes
people's sustenance (Arzaq). 

Each one of us should
seek a good companionship that would call to wake him at Fajr Salat.
Moreover, they would help one another to adhere to such a good deed. <>

We should keep on saying our nightly Duaa (that we say just after before going to sleep) asking Allah to help us do our Salat.  

To feel guilty if we missed a single
 obligatory Salat. Furthermore, we should vow never to repeat this big sin.  

May Allah make us all be among those who truly love Him. May He give us
sincerity in both words and deeds. (Amen) Finally, whatever is right in
this article then it is a gift from Allah. And whatever mistakes or
shortcomings then they are due to myself or Shytan (Satan).
