  • Not Staying Awake To Offer Prayer

    Posted by Amin Ansar on September 17, 2024 at 1:15 am

    When I have slept well enough even though I still feel little bit sleep, I can get up and offer prayer. But sometimes the sleepiness is more intense and I go back to sleep knowingly and I miss the prayer. I feel like I am being arrogant by doing so but I also feel like I’m not in control of myself at that time, particularly because of my stress disorder that causes pain in the body when trying to get up from sleep. I can try to go to bed earlier so that I can more easily wake up for fajar but the fact that I don’t sometimes knowingly get up to offer prayer still haunts me. What do I do in this case?

    You should get up, even if it is dufficult. It is a duty which has to be performed anyways.

      But I don’t feel in control at times. It is a stressful pain when trying to get up sometimes, and it just kinda controls me, I don’t know if you realize what I am talking about. I delay the prayer only believing that God will understand my situation and forgive me

    It’s important to prioritize your prayer while being mindful of your health. You can start by aligning your sleep routine with prayer timings, especially for Fajr. Going to bed earlier, as you mentioned, is a good step. Additionally, setting multiple alarms or asking someone to wake you up can help. If your stress disorder is causing physical pain, it’s important to seek medical advice.
