The factors that help one rise for the Fajr prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What are the factors that help one perform the Fajr prayer and maintain it?

Answer:
The first thing is that a person must resolve in his heart and intend in his heart that he will perform the Fajr prayer.
Second, he must go to bed early to get his share of sleep from the beginning of the night so that he can rise for the Fajr prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go to bed early, unless something occupied him regarding the affairs of the Muslims. Otherwise, he was keen to go to bed early. He disliked sleeping before the 'Isha' prayer and disliked talking after the 'Isha' prayer in order to sleep so that he could rise to perform the tahajjud prayer in the night and for the Fajr prayer.
The third matter is that he should make a means to wake him up. Today, thank Allah, the means are available. He can set an alarm to wake him, or instruct someone to wake him, or have them call him on the mobile phone or the telephone. The matters are facilitated, and the foundation is the intention. If he resolves to rise and accustoms himself to rising, he will become accustomed to it. Yes.
