<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) stressed, through his words and practice, the importance of regularly observing the two-Rak‘ah Sunnah before the Fajr prayer.<br>
2) The wise and fortunate person is the one who would regularly observe an act of Sunnah about which the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “...is better than the world and all that is in it.” How often lazy people miss a great deal of goodness!
