The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The two rak'ahs of Fajr are better than this world and everything in it.”
[Narrated by Muslim, 725]
"The two rakah's of Fajr" here refers to the sunnah (recommended) prayer before the obligatory Fajr prayer.
Now imagine the whole world and everything in it. All the money and gold in the vaults and the bank accounts around the globe. All the jewelries, valuables and advanced technological gadgets with the diverse functions. The vast areas of lands, buildings, structures and huge mansions that everyone wished they possessed…
The two units of SUNNAH prayer before Fajr are MORE PRECIOUS, higher in status and more valuable than all of these worldly possessions! Then imagine the value of the OBLIGATORY prayers. Yet most of us not only neglect the sunnah of Fajr prayer but the obligatory Fajr prayer as well!! Are not our hearts affected by the Muezzin's call in the Azaan when he says "as-Salaathu khairun minnannaum" (Prayer is better than sleep)??
Let us strive our utmost to grasp the rewards of not only the 5 obligatory prayers but the sunnah (naafil/ recommended) prayers as well in order to be amongst those who are successful in this life and in the hereafter.
