How can I read fajr salat?

1. The fact that you are trying is a sign that you are not a Munaafiq. The%0D%0Afear of hypocrisy is also a sign of Imaan. We should all fear hypocrisy, but%0D%0Athis fear should only be to such a degree that prevents us from being%0D%0Aneglectful. At the same time, this should be balanced with the hope of Allah%0D%0ATa'ala's mercy. Too much fear will lead to a person becoming despondent, and%0D%0Athus, leaving out good deeds.%0D%0A2. Different methods work for different persons. Try sleeping with less%0D%0Ablankets, eating less at night, not drinking anything after Maghrib (unless%0D%0Aone is really thirsty). As soon as the eyes open at the time of Fajr, recite%0D%0Athe Kalimah and take up the courage and throw off the blanket. One should%0D%0Anever feel that it is useless to follow the Sunnah. With every step one%0D%0Atakes on the path of the Sunnah, one is drawing closer to Rasulullah%0D%0A(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) by leaps and boulds, and thus closer to Allah%0D%0ATa'ala.%0D%0AAt the same time, one has to keep in mind that Fardh takes priority over%0D%0ASunnah. A continuous effort has to be made to conduct one;s life according%0D%0Ato the correct priorities. It is obvious that as humans, we are bound to%0D%0Aerr, to stumble and fear. We have to pick ourselves up and continue the%0D%0Ajourney. The aim is to die trying. There is no point at which a person can%0D%0Aclaim perfection. This is a lifelong process of trying, of slipping and%0D%0Atrying again. As long as one is trying, the help of Allah Ta'ala is surely%0D%0Aat hand.%0D%0AEnquire from the local Ulama, they will be able to advise you of a Shaykh of%0D%0ATasawwuf in London. Do not be hasty in taking Bay'at. It is important to%0D%0Athoroughly scrutinize the Shaykh before attaching yourself to him. There,%0D%0Athere must be a mutual congeniality. You should be very comfortable with%0D%0Ayour Shaykh, and should naturally feel him to be the best person to guide%0D%0Ayou. Without this mutual congeniality (Munaasabaat), there will be little or%0D%0Ano benefit. It is not necessary that the Shaykh has to be in the same town%0D%0Aor country. It is more important that there should be confidence in the%0D%0AShaykh. Today, communication over distances is not really a problem. If one%0D%0Ais sincere, Allah Ta'ala will guide you to one most suitable to you.%0D%0A3. One has to humble oneself even further and seek your mother's%0D%0Aforgiveness. No such service to her that will please her. Never feel shy to%0D%0Aaccept one's error, and do not shout the slightest disrespect to her.%0D%0AContinue with your Du'aa that her heart should soften. Insha Allah, she will%0D%0Asoon forgive you and resume talking to you.%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai%0D%0AFATWA DEPT.%0D%0A
