Standing for the Fajr Prayer by Waking Up the Family and Means of Waking Up
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
These are two questions regarding the Fajr prayer. The first says: I do not get up except by waking up my family; is this one of the signs of hypocrisy? The second says: I am eager and I stay up with the intention, but I do not get up; by what means do you advise me? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The important thing is that you get up, as long as you get up and pray, praise be to Allah, whether you get up on your own or your family wakes you up. The important thing is that you get up and pray in congregation. However, since you care about the prayer and intend to perform it, Allah will help you, and you will get up without anyone else. If you accustom yourself to getting up, there is no doubt that Allah will help you, you will become accustomed to this, and it will become easy for you. There are many means of waking up, among them:
Or the causes of waking up are many, among them what we mentioned and referred to: that you sleep at night and take your share of sleep at night so that you get up for the Fajr prayer at least. Otherwise, if you get up at the end of the night, you perform the Tahajjud prayer, you perform the Witr prayer, you supplicate to Allah, and you seek His forgiveness, that would be a great good. But at least, you wake up for the Fajr prayer. If you wake up on your own, that is a good thing, and this is the default. And if you do not wake up on your own, and you instruct someone to wake you up, or you set an alarm clock to wake you up at the time of the Fajr prayer, all of this helps you to get up. Yes.
