Shafa

Shafa, also known as Shafaq, is a term used in Islamic tradition to refer to the twilight period before dawn. It is considered a sacred time by Muslims, as it is believed to be the time when the first light of dawn appears. During Shafa, Muslims are encouraged to perform the morning prayers, known as Fajr, as it is considered the most virtuous prayer of the day. The exact duration of Shafa can vary depending on the time of year and location, but it typically lasts for a few minutes before the sun rises. The concept of Shafa is rooted in Islamic teachings and is an important aspect of daily worship for Muslims.
