The verse mentioned above refers to Allah telling us that in any condition, regardless if one is in a war, or any other condition, it is a must to perform prayers. Now one can see most of the time, that the enemies are more than the believers in the battle field, but still there is no forgiveness for prayer, because in any condition help comes only through prayer (salah), regardless in the time of peace, or in the time of an emergency, or if someone is sick, or if one is in a financial difficulty. Whoever does not seek help through salah (prayer) from Allah, then he or she is only misguided by Satan. In case one is unable to wake up, after waking up, before starting anything one must go perform prayers, and treat this as a first priority, do not delay because, it is not allowed to delay one's fajr prayer, because first of all that person was unable to wake up on time, and if one started any work and is waiting to read his or hers' fajr prayer after, or with dhuhr, then this is a very big mistake. That individual must be feel very sorry in front of Allah for missing his prayer, and he should ask Allah for his forgiveness, and make a commitment he won't miss the next one. The reason is if one is unable to perform there fajr on time, there wealth on that day will come with the non-believers. If one misses his or hers' prayer, he or she should never tell anyone about it because, one does not want to make anyone else a witness.
First make an intention of two sets (rak'a) for fajr. This applies if one is reading sunnah or fardh (obligatory prayers)
Allah has set a system for us, and taught us how to start our days. So we can utilize the time from the day. Now one may ask, what benefit is Allah getting when his creature is practicing Islam? Allah is our creator, and he orders the best for us. And by following his orders he does not benefit, but we as his creations benefit, and we have a peaceful and easy life.
