The dawn prayer is one of the five obligatory prayers, and it is considered one of the treasures that a Muslim must preserve, because of its great merit and great reward. [1] It is a great and blessed prayer. God Almighty said: {Establish the prayer from the setting of the sun until the dusk of the night and the recital of the dawn. Indeed, the Qur’an The dawn is witnessed.},[2] And among the grace of God Almighty upon His servants is that He granted those who observe the dawn prayer a particular advantage in that they are under His protection and care, and that light floods on their faces to distinguish them from others, and they have good news of Paradise and salvation from Hell,[3] according to the words of the Messenger of God - May God bless him and grant him peace: (No one who prays before the sunrise and before it sets will enter Hell),[4][5] so the Muslim must maintain the dawn prayer on time until he obtains its blessing and grace, by relying on God and supplicating to God Almighty to It helps him wake up to perform the dawn prayer on time.[6]

Specific reasons for waking up for Fajr prayer
A Muslim must intend to get up for Fajr prayer, and take the reasons for waking up for prayer, and among these reasons are: [7] [8]
Sincerity to God Almighty. When a servant is sincere to God Almighty, He grants him success in obedience, according to the Almighty’s saying: {And they were not commanded except to worship God, sincere to Him in religion}, [9] so the goodness of action is due to the goodness of the heart, and the goodness of the heart is due to the goodness of the intention.
Sleeping in purity, and on the right side, according to what the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - said: (When you go to your bed, perform the ablution that you perform for prayer, then lie on your right side, and say: O God, I surrender my face to You, and I entrust my affairs to You, and I turn my back to You, out of awe and desire for You. There is no refuge or refuge from You except in You. I believe in Your Book which You revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You sent. He said: If you die, die according to nature, and make them the last thing you say. [10]
Sleeping early, this helps him wake up for the dawn prayer, and going to bed early is a prophetic commandment and a healthy habit.
Reciting the supplications before sleeping, as the supplications help one to get up and protect against Satan, and among these supplications is: (When the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, went to bed every night, he would bring his palms together, then blow on them and recite in them: “Say, ‘He is Allah, One,’ and ‘Say, I seek refuge in my Lord Al-Falaq and say I seek refuge Lord of the people, then he wipes with them as much of his body as he can, starting with them on his head and face and the front of his body. He does that three times).[11]
Commitment to the commands of God Almighty, avoiding His prohibitions, and staying away from transgressions and sins.
