Is the Fajr prayer accepted if it is performed at home while consistently observing the other prayers in the mosque?
Perseverance in congregational prayer in the mosque carries immense virtue, especially the Fajr prayer. Allah Almighty says: "Establish regular prayers at the sun’s decline till the darkness of the night, and the morning prayer and reading; for the prayer and reading of the morning carry their own testimony." [Al-Isra:78]. And whoever prays Fajr in congregation, it is as if he has prayed the entire night, and he is under Allah's protection. The Fajr prayer is the heaviest prayer for the hypocrites, and if they knew its virtue, they would come to it even if crawling. Acceptance is in the hand of Allah Almighty, and the Muslim is required to perform his prayer correctly.
