Has waking up for fajr bothered you? Even if you set thousands alarms, it won’t be any help. Have you ever wonder why? Well the answer is completely simple; the evil whispers around you comfort you at the moment. Those whispers sound like a soothing lullaby, very harmonic and calming.
Based on the video, intention, dua’s and willpower insyaAllah could assure us to leave our lovely but full of our saliva drips blanket and pillow. However, I am not writing this just to restate what has been stated, instead I would like to add on few more tips that, I am myself have practiced them and find them very effective for a lazy-bump like me.
1.Of course, intention is important. Make it clear to Allah s.w.t that you really want to wake up in order to worship him, not for the sake of studying or…watching soccer games.
2. Then, we make dua’. There are three dua’s that were usually recited by the prophet.
If one of you rises from his bed and then returns to it he should dust it with the edge of his garment three times for he does not know what has occurred in his absence and when he lies down he should supplicate:
‘In Your name my Lord, I lie down and I in Your name I rise, so if You should take my soul then have mercy upon it, and if You should return my soul then protect it in the manner You do so with Your righteous servants.’
Followed by this
‘O Allah, verily You have created my soul and You shall take it’s life, to You belongs it’s life and death. If You should keep my soul alive then protect it, and if You should take its life then forgive it. O Allaah, I ask You to grant me good health.’
And this
The Prophet (S) would place his right hand under his cheek when about to sleep and supplicate:
‘O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the day Your servants are resurrected.’ (Three times)
These Dua's are merely a copy paste, please note.
3.Will power is equally important. How much dua’ you make, if you don’t force yourself to wake up, you won’t. After all, our very own effort counts.
4. One of my naqibah sisters always performs whudu’ before she hits the sack, so I ask her, why did she do so?
“ It simply because I feel easier to wake up if sleep in state of having my whudu’ on” she answered and the next day, even she slept only for two hours, she managed to wake up during fajr. Amazing isn’t it?
It will be a good sleep even if it short if you are in clean and pure state. As Allah s.w.t commands in his magnificent book, the Quran
"For Allah s.w.t loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean."
5. Last but not least, I discover that listening to the Quran verses during our forty winks could trigger my body to get up for fajr…haha… there’s no scientific explanation, but literally, I find it effective! InsyaAllah, it works for those who stay in places where the prayer times constantly change
Why don’t you try them first and tell me how it works. Remember…
Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He who The observes Al-Bardan (i.e., Fajr and `Asr prayers) will enter Jannah.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
