The word 'fajr' is a transliteration of an Arabic word which refers to the dawn prayer in Islam.
While it is not a commonly used word in written English, it is still considered correct and usable, especially in religious or cultural contexts. Example: The call to prayer for fajr echoed through the streets, signaling the beginning of the day for Muslim worshippers.
(In The Caravan magazine, Mira Sethi recently recounted how "Sharif told the crowd he would build a bullet train from Karachi to Peshawar; the train would leave Karachi after fajr prayer, at dawn, and arrive in Peshawer just in time for the evening isha prayer").

Israel says Hizbullah also has Iranian-made Fajr-3 and Fajr-5 rockets, with a range of 45km and 70km.
Within Muhammad's lifetime five ritual prayers, each preceded by ablution, were observed: ṣalāt al-fajr (dawn), aẓ-ẓuhr (midday), al-ʿaṣr (afternoon), al-maghrib (sunset), and al-ʿishāʾ (evening).
