Muslim prayers: Salah timings, Adhan and rakat

Salah

Salah, meaning ‘prayer’ or ‘supplication’, is also known as Namaz among non-Arab Muslims. Salah 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). There is no God but Allah, and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the messenger of God.
Prayer (Salah)
Charity (Zakat)
Fasting (Sawm)
Pilgrimage (Haj)

Salah is obligatory for adult Muslims and prayer times are set according to the movement of the Sun and performed five times a day as follows:

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

Praying in the masjid

Muslims can pray anywhere. However, many Muslims pray in congregation in a masjid. A masjid is a place of worship for Muslims. Praying together in a congregation helps Muslims realise that all humanity is one and all are equal under the eyes of God.

Jumuah

Apart from the five daily prayers, there is an obligatory Friday (Jumuah) prayer. This prayer is offered in a congregation with a sermon on Fridays, in place of the noon prayer.

Adhan: A call to prayer

The public call to prayer is called Adhan. The Adhan is delivered from the masjid by a muezzin, who is the masjid’s designated caller of prayer. During the call to prayer, the muezzin recites the following Takbir (glorification of God) “Allahu akbar”, which translates as “Allah is great”.

The full call to prayer is as follows:

  • Allahu Akbar (God is great)
  • Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah (I bear witness that there is no God except the One God)
  • Ashadu anna Muhammadar Rasool Allah (I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God)
  • Hayya’ ala-s-Salah (Hurry to the prayer, or rise up for prayer)
  • Hayya’ ala-l-Falah (Hurry to success, or rise up for salvation)
  • Assalatu khairum-minan-naum (Prayer is better than sleep. This is only recited for the morning prayer.)
  • Allahu Akbar (God is Great)
  • La ilaha illallah (There is no God except the One God)

What is the significance of the Adhan?

The Adhan is delivered five times a day to invite Muslims to perform obligatory prayers. It is common to hear the call to prayer in public in countries with significant Muslim population. The Adhan is usually recited from the minaret of masjids and is usually delivered facing towards the Holy Kaaba in Makkah.

Performing wudu before salah

Wudu is ablution or an act of washing the body before performing prayers or the recitation of the Holy Quran.

Rakats in Salah

A rakat consists of the recommended movements and recitation of verses of the Holy Quran practiced by Muslims while offering prayers to Allah. It also refers to a single unit of Islamic prayers.

Fajr

Fajr salah should be performed in the last part of the night and before sunrise. Fajr salah consists of two obligatory rakats, known as Fard.

Dhuhr

Dhuhr salah is the second prayer of the day and is offered at noon. This prayer comprises four obligatory rakats.

Asr

Asar salah is performed in the afternoon after the Dhuhr prayer. This prayer comprises four obligatory rakats.

Maghrib

Maghrib salah should be offered at sunset. Magrib salah consists of three obligatory rakats.

Isha

The fifth prayer of the day is the Isha salah. It includes four obligatory rakats.

There are also other prayers along with these five compulsory prayers:

Jumuah prayer (offered on Fridays at noon).
Tahjjud prayer (offered in the early hours of the morning. However, it is not compulsory).
Tarawih prayer (offered with the Isha prayer and only takes place during the holy month of Ramadan).
Eid prayers (offered on Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha).

The benefits of different positions while performing salah:

There are various positions while performing salah, which include Qiyam, Ruku, Sajdah and Tashshhud. There are numerous benefits in these actions such as:

1. Qiyam (standing): It ensures proper blood flow to the lower portion of the body, strengthening the leg muscles.
2. Ruku (bowing): This posture is good for the lower vertebral column. It relieves and prevents back pain. It involves stretching of elbows, wrists, knees and ankles, thus developing flexibility around all these areas of the body.
3. Sajdah (prostration): The act of low bowing or prostration to God towards the qiblah. Sajdah maintains blood flow to the brain and stimulates the pituitary gland and pineal gland.
4. Tashahhud (sitting posture): The posture is similar to the Vajrasana, a significant Yoga position. The position is said to strengthen the thigh and calf muscles, improve digestion, and keep the spine straight and erect.
