2. Salah (The Muslim Daily Prayers)

Salah refers to the five daily prayers required of all Muslims,

who perform the prayer as taught

by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)

and passed down through the generations.

Each of the five prayers is associated with a certain time of day:

Prayer Name	Time of Day
Fajr	between dawn and sunrise
Dhuhr	noon to mid-afternoon
Asr	mid-afternoon to early evening
Maghrib	at sunset
Isha	night-time, after dusk has ended

Before praying, Muslims perform a purification called wudhu.

They wash their hands, face, arms and feet,

and rinse their mouths and nose before they stand before God to pray.

No matter what language they speak,

all Muslims pray in the Arabic language.

They recite from the Qur'an

while making a series of required movements:

standing, bowing, kneeling with the hands and forehead

touching the ground, and sitting.

One complete cycle of these movements is called a rak'at.

It is the basic unit of prayer,

and each of the five prayer times calls

for a specific number of rak'ats to be performed.

If two or more Muslims pray together,

one of them will act as imam (prayer leader),

and the others form rows behind the imam.

Worshippers all face toward Makkah, and stand in rows behind the imam.
