Fajra

Fajra is a term with limited fixed meaning in English and does not correspond to a single, widely recognized topic. In some contexts, fajra is used as a transliteration variant of the Arabic word fajr, which denotes dawn.

In Islamic usage, fajr refers to the time for the dawn prayer, Salat al-Fajr. The fajr period begins with the appearance of true dawn and ends at sunrise. The specific times vary by location and season, and different communities or legal schools may use slightly different criteria for when dawn begins.

Outside religious use, fajra may appear as a proper name or place name in regions influenced by Arabic or related languages. Because there is no universally associated subject tied to the exact spelling fajra, determining the intended reference typically requires regional or contextual information.

Etymology and transliteration notes: the underlying Arabic root ف-ج-ر relates to breaking forth or dawn. Transliterations of the same root appear in multiple languages with variants such as fajr or fajar, reflecting local pronunciation and orthography.
