The fajr prayer,[a] alternatively transliterated as fadjr prayer, and also known as the subh prayer,[b][c] is a salah (ritual prayer) offered in the early morning. Consisting of two rak'a (units), it is performed between the break of dawn and sunrise.[2][3] It is one of two prayers mentioned by name in the Qur'an.[4][5] Due to its timing, Islamic belief holds the fajr prayer to be of great importance. During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Muslims begin fasting with the fajr prayer.
