.:. Kawan Subuh .:.

Salam ...

Just a bit, quick update. Currently enjoying my life in our first own house that we rent in Cleopatra Hamamat. Huh, such a unique name rite? But I just want to share my recent experience during my just half a month staying there. It's about going to pray Fajr ~ Solat Subuh. I met this one guy on my way to perform Fajr Prayer one day. We are a little bit late that day, miss one rak'ah. I didn't know him before, so when we walked to the mosque he greeted me and we introduced ourselves until we reached the mosque then pray and back to our own house. His name is Muhammad, a typical name that Egyptian tend to use when introducing themselves. This is our routine everyday. We will meet at the mosque during Fajr Prayer. But one day I missed the Fajr Prayer in concgregation at the mosque. On that night, Muhammad came to my house. After asking about how are we ~ izayyak? ammel eih? ... then he said that he didn't see me that morning. I replied that I was overslept, study late in the night I guess. So, he offered himself to wake me up every morning by knocking up the door of my house or just simply ring the bell. OMG, that will be my pleasure ... I agreed. He lives in the same building with me btw. Ok, enough story!

Day after day, we all realise the importance of performing the Fajr Prayer early in the mosque. Just enumerate how many verses in Qur'an, Hadeeth or even excerpts from the scholars, Moshe Dayan or anyone etc about it and I'm more than 100 percent sure that we all can and know about it. The thing now is about application! Try to do some efforts towards it. As the example, we can follow Ar-Rasul s.a.w. steps in preparing for a good start in the morning. From ablution to pray before sleep even until the way you lie on the bed will determine your next day. Also for those who are already 'istiqamah' and don't have any major problem on Fajr Prayer, please help your brothers to do so. You can imitate as what Muhammad did to me, knock up the door of your brother's house, miss-call them, buy an alarm clock etc. Encourage each other. Be a Kawan Subuh together.

Ok, that's all ... let us pray together may Allah helps us in all our eforts and grants us rewards of mujahadah. Ameen. Additional reaading.

“He who performs the Fajr Prayer in congregation, and makes dhikr until sunrise, and then offers two rak`ahs of Duha Prayer will get a reward equal to that of complete Hajj and `Umrah.” (He [peace and blessings be upon him] said “complete Hajj and `Umrah” three times.) (Reported by At-Tirmidhi.)
