Why Predawn Charity Is Special? Recommended Prayers and How to Practice It

Giving charity is one of the most cherished acts of worship in Islam. Among the many times a person can give, the early hours of the morning hold a unique place. At dawn, blessings are opened, prayers are lifted, and good deeds are rewarded abundantly. Today, technology also allows Muslims to give charity at sunrise easily and securely through online platforms, without reducing its spiritual value.

The Virtue of Sedekah Subuh According to Hadith

One of the reasons predawn charity is considered special is because of the specific prayer made by the angels at this time. Rasulullah SAW said, “There is not a day upon which the servant awakens but that two angels descend. One of them says: O Allah, repay one who spends in charity! The other says: O Allah, give destruction to one who withholds charity!” (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)

This hadith shows that every morning, those who give charity receive a special prayer so their sustenance will be multiplied. This is one of the main reasons why Sedekah Subuh is filled with blessings.

Qur’anic Proof of the Great Reward of Charity

Allah SWT also describes how charity brings multiplied rewards in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:245):

مَنۡ ذَا الَّذِىۡ يُقۡرِضُ اللّٰهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضٰعِفَهٗ لَهٗۤ اَضۡعَافًا کَثِيۡرَةً ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يَقۡبِضُ وَيَبۡصُۜطُ وَ اِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُوۡنَ‏ ٢٤٥

“Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? And it is Allah who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned.”

This verse affirms that Allah Himself promises ease, expansion of sustenance, and multiplied rewards for those who give in His cause. The message aligns perfectly with the morning prayers of the angels.

Why More People Are Practicing Predawn Charity

Beyond its spiritual merits, Sedekah Subuh has become a meaningful daily routine for many Muslims due to several reasons:

A Time Full of Blessings
Dawn marks the beginning of a new day. Many scholars explain that starting the day with goodness brings continuous blessings throughout the hours that follow.

It Creates Inner Peace
Giving early in the morning brings relief and serenity. Many people notice that their days feel lighter and their sustenance flows more smoothly when they consistently practice Sedekah Subuh.

Easy to Maintain as a Habit
Because it is tied to a fixed time, Sedekah Subuh is easier to turn into a daily discipline.

Accessible Through Digital Platforms
With online channels, anyone can give charity even before leaving home — whether right after the dawn prayer or while waiting for the call to prayer.

Modern technology supports this act of worship in practical and impactful ways:

Recommended Prayer When Giving Charity

There is no specific obligation regarding a particular supplication, but it is encouraged to ask for acceptance, blessings, and sincerity. You may recite:

اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا صَدَقَتَنَا وَاجْعَلْهَا سَبَبًا لِبَرَكَةِ رِزْقِنَا وَحِفْظِنَا مِنْ كُلِّ بَلَاءٍ وَشَرٍّ

“O Allah, accept our charity, make it a source of blessings in our sustenance, and protect us from all calamities and harm.”
