What is Salah?
Salah, also known as Namaz among non-Arab Muslims, means ‘prayer’ or ‘supplication’. It is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, which form the core beliefs and practices of the religion. The Five Pillars are:
- Profession of Faith (Shahada): Declaring that there is no god but Allah, and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is His messenger.
- Prayer (Salah): Performing the five daily prayers.
- Charity (Zakat): Giving to those in need.
- Fasting (Sawm): Observing fasts during the month of Ramadan.
- Pilgrimage (Hajj): Performing the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime if able.
Salah Timings
The prayer times for Salah are determined by the movement of the Sun and are performed five times a day:
- Fajr: Dawn, before sunrise
- Dhuhr: Midday, after the Sun passes its highest point
- Asr: The late part of the afternoon
- Maghrib: Just after sunset
- Isha: Between sunset and midnight

The Call to Prayer: Adhan
The Adhan is the Islamic call to prayer, announcing the time for Salah. It is recited by a muezzin from a mosque's minaret, serving as a reminder for Muslims to prepare for and attend the prayer.
These are the words for the Adhan (Azan)
Rakat: Units of Prayer
Each Salah consists of a series of movements and recitations known as rakat. The number of rakat varies for each of the five daily prayers:
- Fajr: 2 rakat
- Dhuhr: 4 rakat
- Asr: 4 rakat
- Maghrib: 3 rakat
- Isha: 4 rakat
