2) Prayer (Salat):
Salat (ṣalāh) is the Islamic prayer. Salat consists of five
daily prayers according to the Sunna; the names are according to the prayer
times: Fajr (dawn), Dhuhr (noon), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (evening), and Isha (night). All of these
prayers are recited while facing in the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca .
Muslims must wash before prayer; this washing is called wudu
("purification"). The prayer is accompanied by a series of set
positions including; bowing with hands on knees, standing, prostrating and
sitting in a special position (not on the heels, nor on the buttocks).A Muslim
may pray almost anywhere, such as in homes , offices, factories, or
universities but it’s always better to pray in a Masjid with other Muslims.
The Fajr prayer is performed before sunrise, Dhuhr is
performed in the midday after the sun has surpassed its highest point, Asr is
the evening prayer before sunset, Maghrib is the evening prayer after sunset
and Isha is the night prayer. The prayer timings may vary from city to city.
