PUTRAJAYA: Some 5,000 congregants attended the “Solat Subuh Macam Jumaat” (Fajr Prayers Like Friday Ones) campaign at Masjid Putra here, with a special guest among them. Former All Blacks rugby star Sonny Bill Williams joined them in the dawn prayers, which started as early as 5am.

The congregants performed the prayers, led by Masjid Putra imam Abdul Karim Zakaria yesterday, followed by a knowledge-sharing session with Williams. The Fajr prayer is one of the five mandatory salah, to be performed anytime starting from the moment of dawn, but not after sunrise.
