The answer

Man is by nature indolent when it comes to acts of obedience, so he needs motivation, resolve, and determination. The most deserving of this is the believer. We advise strengthening faith by contemplating the Quran, frequently engaging in dhikr (remembrance of Allah), supplicating at times when prayers are answered, associating with righteous people, and avoiding corrupt environments. Listen to admonitions and read books that strengthen faith. Read the hadiths that encourage performing Fajr prayer in congregation and the great rewards Allah has prepared for it, such as: "Whoever prays Fajr in congregation is under the protection of Allah," and "Whoever prays the two cool prayers (Fajr and Asr) will enter Paradise," and "Whoever prays Fajr in congregation, it is as if he prayed the entire night," and the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "There is no prayer heavier on the hypocrites than Fajr and Isha prayers." The wise believer, upon hearing these rewards, will abandon laziness. Take other measures such as sleeping early, using an alarm clock, or asking a friend to wake you up.
