I keep missing Fajr. What should I do?

First, the guilt you feel is itself a sign of faith — a heart that no longer cared would feel nothing. Now turn that feeling into a plan.

If you miss Fajr because you overslept, pray it as soon as you wake. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, its expiation is to pray it when he remembers it" (Muslim 684). Do not skip it out of shame.

Practical steps that work for most people: - Move your sleep, not just your alarm. Sleeping earlier is the actual fix; the Prophet ﷺ disliked staying up in idle talk after Isha (Bukhari 568). - Put the phone across the room, and use one alarm at Fajr and one ten minutes earlier. - Say the sleep adhkar and make wudu before bed, so waking feels like a continuation of worship rather than a jolt. - Ask someone to call you. Accountability changes outcomes more than willpower does.
