The five daily prayers in Islam are performed at specific times throughout the day and night. These times are determined based on the position of the sun in the sky, and they may vary slightly depending on your geographical location. Here are the five daily prayers and their approximate time frames:
1. Fajr: The pre-dawn prayer, performed before sunrise. It starts when there is enough light to distinguish a black thread from white, which is typically about 1 to 1.5 hours before sunrise.
2. Dhuhr: The noon prayer, performed when the sun begins to decline after reaching its zenith. This prayer can be performed from the time the sun starts moving away from its peak until just before the shadow of an object becomes equal to its length.
3. Asr: The afternoon prayer, which has two subdivisions:
– Asr (Early Afternoon): Performed in the afternoon before sunset. It begins right after Dhuhr and lasts until just before sunset.
– Asr (Late Afternoon): A later option, especially in the Hanafi school of thought, extending until shortly before sunset.
4. Maghrib: The evening prayer, performed immediately after sunset, as soon as the redness in the sky disappears.
5. Isha: The night prayer, performed after twilight has disappeared. It begins when the sky is completely dark and continues until midnight. However, it is recommended to pray Isha earlier rather than delaying it until midnight.
Please note that the specific prayer times may vary based on your location and the calculation method used (e.g., Islamic prayer timetables, mobile apps, or local mosques). It is essential to consult a reliable source or your local mosque for accurate prayer times in your area. Muslims strive to observe these prayer times as closely as possible to fulfill their religious obligations.
