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:

  1. Profession of Faith (Shahada): Declaring that there is no god but Allah, and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is His messenger.
  2. Prayer (Salah): Performing the five daily prayers.
  3. Charity (Zakat): Giving to those in need.
  4. Fasting (Sawm): Observing fasts during the month of Ramadan.
  5. 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
