وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَإِدْبَٰرَ ٱلنُّجُومِ

2 Sunnat-e-Mua’kaddah Of Fajr Salaah 

• It is extremely virtuous to pray the two rakaats Sunnah- e-Mua’kaddah ie. before the two Fard rakaats of Fajr Salaah

•  Rasulullah Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam would pray them lightly (meaning he would not lengthen them)

• It is Sunnah to recite Surah al-Kafiroon in the first rakaah and Surah al-Ikhlaas in the second rakaah of the Fajr Sunnah prayers
 
…
 

Ahadeeth Pertaining To The Sunnah Of Fajr Salaah 

 
Hazrat A’isha RA relates that the  Rasulullah Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam said, “The two Rakaats of (the Sunnah of) Fajr are better than the world and all it contains.” [Muslim]
…
Hazrat  Abu Hurairah RA reported: Rasulullah Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam recited in the two Sunnah Rakaah of the Fajr prayer, Surah Al-Kafirun (in the first Rakaah), and Surah Al-Ikhlas (in the second Rakaah) ~Muslim
…
Hazrat Abu Hurayra RA narrates that Rasulullah Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam said, “Do not abandon the sunnah rakaats of Fajr, even if horses trample over you.” (Sunan Abu Dawud 1:186, Athar al-Sunan 1:224)

 إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍۢ شَكُورٍۢ

Verily in this are Signs for every (soul that is) patiently constant and grateful ~ Surah Saba 34:19

…

There are two roads for a believer to reach Allah, ie : Sabr and Shukr >

The road of Sabr is quite difficult and challenging, and although we all have to experience some Sabr in our life, we should desire that Allah Ta’ala make us reach Him through the road of Shukr (by being blessed with the countless favours of Allah Ta’ala and then truly appreciating these bounties and being loyal, sincere, obedient servants of Allah Ta’ala).

We will be tested on the road of Sabr,  and due to our weak Imaan, we may not be able to exercise Sabr over the tests and trials that we will be faced with … Hence, the journey through that road becomes daunting. 

However, both roads of Sabr and Shukr bring about great blessings and reward for the believer.

Both these roads lead to Allah Ta’ala …

… 

Our Beloved Rasulullaah Sallallaahu alyhi Wasallam said:

“How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for his affairs are all good, and this applies to no one else but the believer. If some good happens to him, he is thankful for it and that is good for him. If some harm afflicts him, he bears it with patience and that is good for him.”  (Muslim Shareef)

وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَٰنًا ۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَآ  أُفٍّۢ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًۭا كَرِيمًۭا

Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. ~ Surah Al-Isra 17:23

…

وَٱخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِى صَغِيرًۭا

And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: “My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood.” ~Surah Al-Isra 17:24

Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam said: “The pleasure of Allah lies in the pleasure of the parents and the anger of Allah lies in the anger of the parents.” ~Tirmizi

  ۖ وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ
And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, ‘If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor] ~ Surah Ibrahim 14:7

  … 

Every single bounty has been bestowed upon us by Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala, although we are underserving of it. 

 Making Shukr to Allah with this realization and conviction, together with expressing gratitude by means of your tongue and actions (carry out your life in accordance to the will of Allah) … that is ‘real shukr‘ …

اَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كُلُّهُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ كُلُّهُ
Allahumma Lakal Hamdu Kulluhu _ Wa Laka-sh Shukru Kulluhu
O Allah, for You Alone is all Praise. For You Alone is all Gratitude.

Another man passed by and said “As-salamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah).” Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, “[He will have] twenty hasanaat (20 rewards).”

Another man passed by and said “As-salamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullahi wa-barakatuh (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings).” Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, “[He will have] thirty hasanaat (30 rewards).”
