Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man says that he is a man, meaning it is difficult for him to get up for the Fajr prayer due to some causes, such as insomnia and lack of sleep. When the night is half over, he sleeps and it becomes heavy for him to get up. He says: Guide us, may Allah bless you, to the means that help in standing for the Fajr prayer.
Answer:
Yes, one of the greatest means for standing for the Fajr prayer is to sleep early in the night so that you get your share of sleep, and you get up energetic. Accustom yourself to getting up, and have things that alert you to get up, such as a clock or the like, or instruct someone to wake you up.
And the most important thing is the soundness of the intention and the resolve to get up, so that Allah helps you with it. Also, making this a habit; if you make it a habit, it becomes easy for you. So, staying up until the end of the night for such and such, or it may be for something forbidden, like idle talk and play, this is a sin that ends with the loss of prayer, may Allah protect us from that.
So you must maintain your prayer[Al-Mu'minun 23:9-11] So maintain your prayer, may Allah bless you, especially the Fajr prayer. Sleep early, my brother, get your share of rest, and do not stay up in a way that makes it heavy for you to get up for the Fajr prayer.
And the most important thing for a person is his religion, and the most important thing in the religion is prayer, for it is the pillar of Islam, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2616Hasan (Darussalam) in the cause of Allah. So if you do not have a pillar for Islam, you do not have Islam, because a tent and the like do not stand except on a pillar. Similarly, Islam does not stand except on prayer. So you must maintain your prayer, [Al-Ma'arij 70:34-35]. Yes.

(9) And they who carefully maintain their prayers - (10) Those are the inheritors (11) Who will inherit al-Firdaus. They will abide therein eternally.
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْوَارِثُونَ الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَAnd the most important thing for a person is his religion, and the most important thing in the religion is prayer, for it is the pillar of Islam, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The head of the matter is Islam, and its pillar is the Salat, and its hump is Jihad.
رأس الأمر الإسلام وعموده الصلاة، وذروة سنامه الجهاد(34) And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer: (35) They will be in gardens, honored.
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ أُولَٰئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ
