Dear Doris,

Thank you for your insightful writings on early morning worship.

In Islam, we also emphasize the beauty of dawn, particularly through the practice of Fajr prayer. This prayer not only opens the day but also serves as a sacred time for reflection and connection with the Divine.

Islam teaches that the early hours are filled with blessings. As mentioned in the Quran, “And in the hours before dawn, they would ask forgiveness” (Quran 51:18). This verse highlights the importance of seeking forgiveness and engaging in worship during these serene moments. Moreover, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “The dawn prayer is better than sleep” (Sunan Abi Dawood). This encapsulates the profound significance and rewards of waking early for worship.

I urge you Doris, to consider incorporating similar practices into your daily routine, as both Islam and your reflections on morning worship emphasize the spiritual rejuvenation that comes from such mindfulness. It’s an opportunity to start each day filled with purpose and tranquility, fostering a connection that can guide us throughout our daily challenges.

How might this early morning devotion transform our lives for the better?

Warm regards,

Mohamed, Ph.D
