Duaas

 In the two rakaat sunnats of Fajr, it is sunnah for one to recite Aayah 136 of Surah Baqarah in the first rakaat and Aayah 64 of Surah Aal-e-Imraan in the second rakaat:

1)  قُولُوا آمَنَّا بِاللَّـهِ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالْأَسْبَاطِ وَمَا أُوتِيَ مُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَمَا أُوتِيَ النَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ ﴿البقرة: ١٣٦﴾

2) قُلْ يَـأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَـبِ تَعَالَوْا إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَآءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَلَّا نَعْبُدَ إِلَّا ٱللَّـهَ وَلَا نُشْرِكَ بِهِۦ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّـهِ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَقُولُوا ٱشْهَدُوا بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ ﴿ آل عمران: ٦٤﴾

عن ابن عباس قال:كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقرأ في ركعتي الفجر: (قولوا آمنا بالله وما أنزل إلينا) (الآية)، والتي في آل عمران: (تعالوا إلى كلمة سواء بيننا وبينكم) (الآية). …
