Fajr prayer holds a special place among the five daily prayers. It is the prayer that separates the believers from the hypocrites, and those who pray it are promised immense rewards from Allah.

Fajr (الفجر) is the dawn prayer, the first of the five daily obligatory prayers in Islam. It consists of two rak'ahs (units) and is performed before sunrise. The time for Fajr begins at true dawn (when the white light spreads across the horizon) and ends at sunrise.
