Qadha . Fajr . Time . Salah (Prayers) . Salatul Layl

Would it be more beneficial to prioritize completing my missed Qadha prayers over performing Salat al-Layl, considering that I currently make up for them by praying one Qadha Fajr Salah and another Qadha Salah daily?

The reward of performing Qadha Prayer is greater than performing recommended prayers. No doubt, performing both is much better, but if you have no other option but perform either Qadha or recommended prayer,b then Qadha is first because it is obligatory.

Angels . Fajr . Barakah

When we say that angels wake you up for Fajr, does the person feel their presence, hears a loud sound, and sees their light before waking up? How do people describe such a blessing or is it just a waking up with nothing being witnessed right before?

We as fallible humans can not see the angles nor hear their voice nor feel their light in this world. Pious believers will the angles after this life as we read in Quran (On that Day, they will see the angles) Sura Al-Forqan, verse 22.

If Fajr is at 4:30am and sunrise is at 6:30am, does that mean Fajr can be read as Fardh until 6:29am or is it made Qadha at a certain earlier point before the time of sunrise?

Fajr Prayer time is between Fajr time and sunrise. It is Fardh till the last minute before sunrise. After sunrise, it becomes Qadha.

Time . Fajr . Salah (Prayers)

How do we calculate the time of the Fajr prayer? Is it when the sun is at 16 degrees or is it one hour before the time of sunrise? Would it be possible to get a source on this matter?

You need to refer to the experts in your area who have authentic evidence on the time of Fajr.

If you can not find such trusted experts,bayou should practice precaution (Ehtiyat).

We don't pray any obligatory prayer before being sure that the time has started.

Fajr . Ghusl . Salah (Prayers) . Jumu'ah . Qadha . Wudu (Ablution)

If Fajr Namaz is missed on a Friday, can we offer its Qaza after doing the Ghusl of Juma or do we need to perform Wuzu for it?

We must try our best to perform every Prayer within its time and never miss any Prayer as much as we can. If God firbid, Fajr Namaz is missed, we must perform its Qaza as soon as we can. There is no condition to perform Ghusl of Jum’a before performing the Qaza although Ghusl Jum’a is very great recommended Ghusl, but you can perform the Qaza of Fajr with Wudhu only or after Ghusl Jum’a if you wish but Ghusl Jum’a is not obligatory nor a condition for Qaza Namaz.

Fajr . Adhan . Divorce . Tarawih . Imam Ali b. Abi Talib . `Umar b. al-Khattab

Why was Maula Ali (as) not able to correct during his rule the changes in Fajr Adhan, divorce rules, and Taraweeh that were introduced by caliph 'Umar?

Imam Ali (AS) has removed the deviations which were created by the previous three rulers of Saqeefah as he clearly declared that they have deliberately changed the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAWA). He removed the discrimination between Arabs againt non Arab Muslims and between Quraish tribe against other tribes etc.

Imam Ali (AS) suffered a lot from the hypocrites and Quraish tribe who were against him and against his reforms. They took the name of Umar as a slogan against Imam Ali (AS). They asked him in the month of Ramadan to appoint for them a person to lead Taraweeh. He clearly said that it is a Bid'ah away from the Sunnah of the Prophet. They insisted and gathered in the Masjid of Kufa. He sent his son Imam Al-Hasan (AS) to stop them from Taraweeh, but they shouted loudly ( WA SUNNATA UMARAAH)(Where is the Sunnah of Umar?). It reached to a critical point of civil disorder among Muslim society. Imam Ali (AS) had no choice but to leave them to do what they want to save the Muslims from turmoil. You can find details in Sunni books like Sharh Al-Nahj by Ibn Abi Al-Hadeed , V. 12, P. 283 and Tareekh Al-Tabari V.4, From page 281 onward.

Shia books like Wasaa'il Al-Shia , V.5 P. 193 has also mentioned some details of this matter.
