What are the causes and solutions for losing the blessing of Fajr prayer in congregation?
Losing the Fajr prayer in congregation is a calamity, and its causes are numerous, including: staying up late, committing many sins, and bad company. The remedy lies in eliminating these causes, and then in adopting spiritual and material means that assist in performing it. The most important spiritual means are strengthening faith and desiring God's reward for those who perform the prayer on time, and fearing what is prepared for those who neglect it. As for the material means, they include using an alarm clock and asking someone to wake you for prayer. A Muslim is sinful if the cause of missing the prayer is due to him, whether by oversleeping or by not taking precautions. It is obligatory to strive in supplication and seeking forgiveness.
