The five prayers
- Fajr — before sunrise (2 units / rak‘ahs).
- Dhuhr — after midday (4).
- ‘Asr — late afternoon (4).
- Maghrib — just after sunset (3).
- ‘Isha — night (4).
Prayer times follow the sun, so they shift through the year and by location. A prayer-time app or your local masjid will give you the exact times for your area each day.
Start by learning the names and times. The physical steps come next — one rak‘ah at a time.
