It is desirable in the Chafa'a prayer to recite the qiraat and tilawa of Surat Al-Fatiha and the surah that follows it in a loud voice like a loud prayer [], just as it is desirable to recite Surat Al-Ala in the first rak'ah, then recite Surat Al-Kafirun in the second rak'ah.
Modern scholarship has long posited an origin for the sabab al-nuzūl based largely on its function within exegesis. William Montgomery Watt, for example, stressed the narratological significance of these types of reports: "The Quranic allusions had to be elaborated into complete stories and the background filled in if the main ideas were to be impressed on the minds of simple men."
Al-Asr (Arabic: العصر, romanized: al-ʻaṣr, The Declining Day, Eventide, The Epoch, Time) is the 103rd chapter of the Qur’ān, the Muslim holy book. It contains three āyāt or verses. Surat al-‘Asr is the third shortest chapter after Al-Kawthar and Al-Nasr , being shorter than Al-Nasr by only two words in the 3rd verse.
According to most scholars of the Islamic tradition, the chapter is a Medinan surah, i.e. it was revealed during the Medinan phase of Muhammad's prophethood. Some commentators say that verse 24 was an exception and was revealed in Mecca, and others say that verses 23–31 were revealed in Mecca.
In fajr, Al-Fatiha and the additional surah are to be read aloud (jahr), as during Maghrib and Isha. [7] It is commonly performed silently when waking up in the morning. [8] The prayer includes wudu (ritual purification) and salat (ritual prayer). [9] Fajr replaced salat al-duha as the morning prayer before the five prayers were standardized. [10]
The word surah was used at the time of Muhammad as a term with the meaning of a portion or a set of verses of the Qur'an. This is evidenced by the appearance of the word surah in multiple locations in the Quran such as verse : "a sûrah which We have revealed and made ˹its rulings˺ obligatory, and revealed in it clear commandments so that you may be mindful."
The word appears in The Qur'an in Surah Abasa: اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡكَفَرَةُ الۡفَجَرَةُ "Such will be the Kafarah (disbelievers in Allâh, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad), (and) the Fajarah (wicked evil doers)."
