Round 4 - Fajr First
Because there is no better way to start your day
“Rasoolullah (saw) said: ‘If the people knew what (reward) there is in the Isha prayer and Fajr prayer, they would come even if they had to crawl.'” (Sahih)
Objectives:
- Encourage the performance of Salaah in the Masjid. The establishment of Salaah will inshallah result in lasting change.
- Establish lasting bonds between the youth and their Imaams.
- Revive the relevance and importance of the masjid.
- Give the participants a deeper understanding of the virtues of Salaah in the light of the ahadith.
- Create an atmosphere of encouragement through incentive rather than reprimand.

Participants will be requested to attend an awards event post Fajr First. The event will be hosted at a central location in Johannesburg. (Details to be announced)
40-day period has been chosen because 40 days is known as a habit forming period.
The concept of giving gifts or prizes for acts of righteousness is found as a common practice in Darul Ulooms through the ages.
After dealing with the thieves who stole the camels from the muslims, Sayidina Salma Bin Akwa (RA) was rewarded by Rasoollulah (SAW) with a double share in spoils of war as a token of acknowledgment and encouragement for his bravery even though his display of bravery was solely done for the sake of Allah.
