Fajr Nafl Prayer

Fajr nafl prayer ( ar, رَغِيبَةُ الْفَجْرِ ; ''dawn supererogatory prayer'') is an Islamic prayer (''salat'') that is performed after the second adhan of dawn and before '' Fajr'' (dawn-time prayer).

Presentation

The supererogatory or optional dawn prayer is a pair of rakats which are offered to ''God'' (''Allah'') Almighty just before performing the obligatory Fajr prayer which is ''fard''.

This nafilah is considered by Muslim jurists ('' fuqaha'') to be a ', and it represents the beginning of the daytime prayers of the ''Muslim'' day, while the Witr is the closing of the nighttime prayers just after the Chafa'a prayer.

This ''Fajr nafilah'' is included in the prayers of '' regular Nafl prayers (ar - صلاة النافلة)'', which are the ''Sunnah prayers'' that follow the five obligatory prayers ( ar, الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسَةُ).

This supererogatory is performed before the obligatory ''dawn prayer'', is classified as a ''confirmed Sunnah'' according to Islamic legal evidence, is made of two ''rakates'' before the ''Fajr prayer'' are sealed with one taslim, and Muhammad used to preserve it in his home, in his travel, and advise his companions (''Sahaba'') to pray it.

Muhammad confirmed it by doing it when he was not traveling, and even when he was on the move, as he preserved it and never left it, and encouraged it in the ''hadith'' that Imam Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj narrated in his book Sahih Muslim within the chapter on ':
