The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The prayer of a servant of Allah in the morning is as if he is on the threshold of his door, and he is upon the threshold of Allah's door. If he prays (the prayer of dawn) at his door, it is as if he has prayed at the door of the Most Merciful. And whoever prays (the prayer of dawn) at his door, it is as if he has prayed in the House (Ka'bah). And whoever prays in the House, it is as if he has prayed in the heavens.'
