๐Ÿ’ฅWake up one hour before the Fajr time to eat Suhoor

 

๐Ÿ’ฅPray at least 4 rakat of night prayers and supplicate to Allah while in a state of sujood and thank Him for allowing you to witness this blessed day and ask Him to give you success on this day.

๐Ÿ’ฅAttend Fajr in Masjid (or at home for women) and remain in your place until 15-20 minutes after sunrise.

๐Ÿ’ฅPray two rakat of sunrise so it is recorded for you the reward of hajj and umrah (in sha Allah).
