<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) Performing the Fajr and ‘Asr prayers regularly leads one to Paradise and salvation from Hellfire. Allah Almighty says: {So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise is indeed triumphant} [Āl-‘Imrān: 185]<br> 2) There is a special merit for Fajr prayer, as the recitation of the Qur’an during it is well witnessed by the angels. {Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed.} [Surat al-Isrā’: 78]<br> 3) The ‘Asr prayer has a special merit as it has been singled out; it is the middle prayer mentioned in the verse: {Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayer} [Surat al-Baqarah: 238]
