Asalamu Alaikum,

Thank you for sending notices on updates, etc. Sometimes, after Salatal Fajr, I'll stay in Zikr or read Qur'an until sunrise. People have different interpretations as to when it is permissable to pray 2 rakats before leaving the masjid. If the timetable has sunrise as 7:15; some say it's right to pray immediately, others say you should wait about 10 minutes, still others suggest waiting 20-30 minutes. I really don't know, so I do it when others do. If alone, I wait about 10 minutes.

May Allah's Mercy, Peace, and Blessings be with you always.

What is the earliest time to pray Fajr? and how late can I make it. The reason I inquire is because of early morning travel hours to work.

I admit ignorance of customs and traditions of islam, but is God not ubiquitous and all knowing?  From that point of view, does it matter when or how one prays?  We get bogged down in mans appropriations when our heart and motives are what concerns the           Master.  Men ought to always pray!! And to allow growth to be stalled by time frame is questionable to me. Respectufully submitted...
