Answer: Believers may conceal their true faith to survive persecution.
If a person is tortured or threatened, Taqiya says he or she may deny the faith, commit sacrilege or say blasphemous things, without peril to his or her soul. It's based on a line from the Quran (chapter 16, verse 106), which promises doom to Muslims who renounce their faith - except "him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith." In practice, this has seldom been necessary for mainstream Sunnis, but Taqiya has been a significant element of Isma'ili history for centuries.

Answer: Fajr
Fajr, the first prayer of five daily prayers, makes up the second pillar of Islam, or Salat. The Qu'ran refers to it as more precious than our lives. In Sunni Islam, in the adhan for Fajr is slightly modified. It adds a line which means prayer is better than sleep because Fajr prayer can only be read from dawn to sunrise. The five daily prayers were first made obligatory on all Muslims after Isra and Miraj, or night journey and ascension to heaven. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was taken from his home in Mecca to Jerusalem in one night, and was taken up to the heavens. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) met with the prophets before him and was also told to tell his followers to pray five times a day.
