In the Fajr prayer (the dawn prayer) in Islam, there are two faraiz (obligatory acts):
1. Recitation of Surah Al-Fatiha: It is obligatory to recite Surah Al-Fatiha during the standing position (Qiyam) in each rakat of the Fajr prayer.
2. Another Surah or a Few Verses: After reciting Surah Al-Fatiha, it is also obligatory to recite another Surah or a few verses from the Quran during the first two Rakat of the Fajr prayer.
These two faraiz are essential components of the Fajr prayer, and they must be performed for the prayer to be valid.
In Islamic prayer (Salah or Salat), there are typically two categories of actions or units: Farz (obligatory) and Sunnah (voluntary or recommended). The number of Farz units or actions in each of the five daily prayers (Salat) can vary depending on the specific prayer. Here’s a general breakdown: Fajr (Dawn) Prayer: The Fajr prayer consists of 2 Rak’ahs (units). These 2 Rak’ahs contain specific Farz components that must be performed. Dhuhr (Noon) Prayer: The Dhuhr prayer consists of 4 Rak’ahs. The first 2 Rak’ahs contain Farz components, and the remaining 2 Rak’ahs are Sunnah Mu’akkadah (emphasized voluntary actions). Asr (Afternoon) Prayer: The Asr prayer consists of 4 Rak’ahs. The first 2 Rak’ahs contain Farz components, while the other 2 Rak’ahs are Sunnah Ghair Mu’akkadah (non-emphasized voluntary actions). Maghrib (Evening) Prayer: The Maghrib prayer consists of 3 Rak’ahs. The first 2 Rak’ahs contain Farz components, and the last Rak’ah contains Sunnah Mu’akkadah and Witr components. Isha (Night) Prayer: The Isha prayer consists of 4 Rak’ahs. The first 2 Rak’ahs contain Farz components, and the other 2 Rak’ahs contain Sunnah Mu’akkadah and Witr components. It’s important to note that the Farz components are the obligatory and essential parts of each prayer. These include recitation of specific verses from the Quran, standing, bowing, and prostrating in a specific manner, and reciting key supplications. The Sunnah components, on the other hand, are voluntary actions that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recommended and practiced regularly but are not obligatory. Please keep in mind that the specific details of each prayer, including the recitations and actions, may vary slightly among Islamic schools of thought (Madhabs). Therefore, it’s a good practice to follow the guidance of the particular Madhab or the local religious authority you follow.
