Brief Explanation
Benefits: … There is blessing in work done at the beginning of the day. Not only is this the time of alertness, but it is also the longest period of the day. Reflect that nowadays, most people begin their business and other activities at eleven or twelve o’clock; starting at nine or ten o’clock is the general habit of people. Whereas in the winter season, five hours have already passed from the time of Fajr prayer until ten o’clock, and in the summer season, by ten o’clock, seven to eight hours have already elapsed. Such a long period is not available in any other part of the day, and along with this, the blessing of the supplication (du‘a) of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is also being received.
