Most of us struggle to get up at Fajr time. There can be several reasons for this; ranging from weakness in eeman, to lack of discipline. However, the intention of this post is not to list them and then chastise people. Rather, I would like to list a few practical tips that can help us in waking up for Fajr. One major benefit of praying Fajr, apart from the immense reward, is the freedom from the guilt of missing this salah. Of course, if you aren’t feeling bad about it, then you’re in deeper trouble. So, without further ado, here are my tips for waking up for Fajr:.
1... Know what you’re missing out on:
Here are three Hadees about the virtue of praying Fajr. For the believer, they should be sufficient motivation.
Muslim narrated in his Saheeh (656) that ‘Usmaan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) say: “Whoever prays ‘Isha’ in congregation, it is as if he spent half the night in prayer, and whoever prays Fajr in congregation, it is as if he spent the whole night in prayer.”
Abu Dawood (561), al-Tirmidhi (223) and Ibn Maajah (781) narrated from Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (SAWS) said: “Give glad tidings to those who walk to the mosques in the dark, of perfect light on the Day of Resurrection.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb.
Al-Bukhaari (657) and Muslim (651) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: “The most burdensome of prayers for the hypocrites are ‘Isha’ and Fajr. If only they knew what (reward) there is in them, they would come to them even if they had to crawl. I was thinking of ordering that the call to prayer be given, then I would tell a man to lead the people in prayer, then I would set out with some men carrying bundles of wood and go to people who do not attend the prayer, and burn their houses down with them inside.”
2 ... Plan the day ahead:.
Before you sleep, create a general plan for the next day. The first thing on your agenda should be waking up and praying Fajr. This little exercise prepares you mentally and it also programs your subconscious mind. With good enough practice, getting up for Fajr may become second nature.
3 ... Drink a little water:.
If you’re a heavy sleeper or in the habit of sleeping very late, then drinking some water right before bedtime may help. You may be able to resist the call to salah, but you can’t resit the call of nature . When you’ve woken up already, why not make the most of this and pray Fajr? Caveat: This may not work for everyone.
4... Sleep early:.
You’ve heard your parents say it all your childhood life. But there’s no escaping it! Sleeping early is the most effective way of ensuring that you get up for Fajr. This may be difficult initially, but if you keep waking up early, eventually your body is going to demand more sleep. That’s when sleeping early comes in.
5... Eat light before sleeping:
If you’re in the habit of eating heavy meals before bed, give it up now! It will make you sluggish; cutting down your chances of waking up for Fajr and ruin your health in the long run.
6... Keep your alarm at a distance:
This has helped me a lot. Keeping my alarm close by meant I’d just shut it off and go back to sleep (sound familiar? ) Instead, I keep it at a distance, which forces me to get up, walk to it, and then shut it off.
Now, I’m slightly more awake which leads me to the next point.
7... Perform Wudhu immediately:
Just do it! There’s no option of going back to bed. Of course, once you’ve done this, I’d be surprised if you still felt like sleeping without praying. The final leg is for the sisters to pray at home and for the brothers to head for the masjid. Remember, praying Fajr at home is only for the sisters!
I hope these tips were useful. Be sure to add more that you’ve found to be effective.

Kitchen is Heaven
Salah satu pesan orang tua kepada anak perempuannya adalah “Cinta suami bermula dari perut”.
Ketelitian seorang wanita dalam memberikan hidangan yang memanjakan lidah suaminya, memang tidak hanya berhasil memikat kasih sayang dan perhatiannya, namun juga terbukti berjaya menghidangkan kebahagiaan untuk rumah tangga mereka.
Suami mana yang tidak akan senang melihat isteri yang begitu serius melayaninya, serta mengambil berat soal makan minumnya. Bagi suami yang bijak menghargai, perkara ini membuatkan kekurangan wanita yang menjadi isterinya seolah – olah tertutup oleh perbuatannya yang menjaga cita rasa lidah suami. Dan tentunya untuk si isteri, kebahagiaan sudah pasti diperolehinya kerana redha suami memang menjadi tujuan dari perjuangan seorang wanita muslimah.
Maka, betapa ruginya jika masih ada beberapa orang yang berfikir bahawa dapur bukanlah tempat wanita moden dalam `berkarier`. Bahkan ada sebahagian dari mereka dengan ikhlasnya berbahagi pahala dengan pembantu rumah, malah menyerahkan semuanya kepada pembantu. Beribu alasan kesibukan dan ketidakmampuan diberikannya, termasuk alasan bahawa zaman sekarang pekerjaan rumah hanya mengikat perkembangan kreativiti wanita.
Hanya orang- orang yang belum mengerti kedamaian melayani, yang akan berfikiran bahawa pekerjaan dapur hanya merendahkan wanita. Begitulah pendapat kebanyakan mereka – Selalu di dapur, maka masa depan wanita tamat.
Namun hal ini berbeza dengan fikiran wanita yang menjunjung tinggi sebuah keikhlasan. Melayani suami bukan bererti memasrahkan diri menjadi pelayan. Melayani bererti meningkatkan darjat diri, dari yang hanya berfikir tentang diri sendiri, dia tanggalkan ego demi untuk membahagiakan orang lain.
MasyaAllah, ini bukanlah perkara yang mudah untuk dilakukan, tetapi juga tidak mustahil dijalankan. Wanita ajaib bagaimana yang dapat buat seperti ini, kecuali akan menjadi berkat untuk pasangannya. apa – apa pekerjaan rumah yang begitu berat, betapa banyak kesibukan diluar yang menyita waktu mereka, namun seorang wanita solehah akan tetap memfokuskan bahawa keluarga adalah nombor satu, dan kerana memang itulah tanggungjawab untuknya, dari Allah sang maha penguasa.
Fikirannya selalu terfikir untuk menyiapkan apa yang dia boleh hidangkan untuk suami tercinta. Pahala untuknya akan mengalir dengan deras dan tiket untuk masuk ke dalam syurga Allah insyaallah akan digenggaman.
Memang masih banyak cara untuk membahagiakan suami kita selain dengan memasak makanan kesenangannya. Namun, adakah cara yang lebih baik untuk memenuhi selera makan mereka selain dengan memenuhinya dengan tangan kita sendiri. Pastilah sebuah kebanggaan bagi kita dapat merawat suami sebagai sebahagian dari amanah kita yang kita lakukan dengan tangan kita sendiri, dan menjadikan kita peribadi yang dapat dipercayai dalam menjaga amanah.
Maka jangan pernah melecehkan ketentuan Allah, dan jangan menunggu sampai hak itu diambil Allah barulah kita menyedari kekeliruan kita. Maka sebaiknya kita mulai menumbuhkan rasa malu, saat mengetahui bahawa sang suami cenderung menyukai makanan di luar dan atau buatan orang lain. Manfaatkan waktu sebaik mungkin, kerana sungguhnya Allah menyediakan syurga untuk hambanya yang bersungguh- sungguh dalam belajar.
Siapa pun anda, apa pun kedudukan dan pekerjaan serta kesibukan saat ini, jangan pernah menganggap remeh hasil tangan kasih sayang dari sebuah ruangan kecil yang bernama dapur. kebahagiaan suami, perhatian dan kasih sayangnya dapat anda ikat dari sana. so, mengapa tidak buru- buru memulainya sekarang?
Selamat memburu pahala..

Make up Guide Girlz!
There are five basic items you need for your “everyday” face. And, with a little organization, you can get your makeup done for the workday in five minutes flat!
Invest in a great long-wearing foundation, preferably one that dries to a powder finish. Not only will this last flawlessly the entire day, but you won't need the extra step of using a powder to set it.
After foundation, your next step is concealer. Use it under the eyes and on the lids as a shadow base. Products that have a dual use are especially timesaving.
Don't forget blush in a soft tone to help perk up your face! Go with a pink-based blush if you are fair, and a brownish plum for darker or olive skin tones.
Next, it's on to a quick eye. Sweep a lighter, cream-colored shadow all over the lid from lash to brow, and a slightly deeper shade pressed into the lower lid. Finish with a soft plum, khaki or brown eyeliner for daytime along with a few coats of mascara. Don't overdo the eye area; soft is best for daytime when you want to present a polished, professional face.
The last item you need should go into your handbag. Lipstick or lip gloss is the one thing you should carry with you at all times. Lastly, if you have an evening function, your essential makeup bag can be taken with you for a late day touch-up, and it's a definite must-have.
