The Prophet's Prayer Before Fajr

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to perform two Rakah before Fajr and recite Surah Al-Ikhlas and Al-Kafirun.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah used to perform two Rak’ah before Fajr, and he used to say: 'The best two Surah to recite in the two Rak’ah of Fajr are: "Say: Allah is One" Al-Ikhlas (112) and "Say: O you disbelievers". Al-Kafirun (109)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ نِعْمَ السُّورَتَانِ هُمَا يُقْرَأُ بِهِمَا فِي رَكْعَتَىِ الْفَجْرِ ‏{قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ‏}‏ وَ ‏{قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ}‏

Perform extra prayers each day with sincerity and dedication .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known for his exemplary character and devotion to prayer. He would often perform two Rakahs of prayer before the dawn prayer of Fajr. During these two Rakahs, he would recite the surahs of “Say: Allah is One” [Al-Ikhlas 112] and “Say O you disbelievers” [Al Kafirun 109]. These two surahs are short but powerful reminders of the oneness of God and a call to reject disbelief in Him. This hadith serves as an example for us to follow in our own lives; we should strive to make time for extra prayers each day, especially during times when our faith may be tested or weakened. Additionally, it reminds us that even small acts can have a great impact on our spiritual wellbeing if done with sincerity and dedication.
