Q323: Dua/advice for waking up for Fajr Salaah
Question
Can you give me a dua for waking up for fajar.
Also what advices are there for somebody who finds it so hard to get up?
Answer
Go to sleep early. Before sleeping, read tasbeehaate Fatima and other adhkaar. Hazrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi rahmatullahi alayh has mentioned through experience that the last to verses of Surah al-Kahf (18:109-110) are beneficial for waking up for Fajar.
Surah al-Kahf Verses 109-110:
قُل لَّوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَاتُ رَبِّي وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهِ مَدَدًا
قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَا إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا
