Salat is the second of the five pillars of Islam. It requires all Muslims who have reached puberty to worship five times daily, facing the holy city of Mecca. (Women who are menstruating or women who have recently given birth are excluded from the requirement.)
It’s preferred that Muslims offer their prayers in a mosque, but if they are unable to, they can pray anywhere as long as it’s clean.
The specific times can change daily, depending on the position of the sun. Many Muslims use smartphone apps that list prayer times each day. Many of those apps even include compasses that point toward Mecca.
• Fajr: Dawn, before sunrise
• Dhuhr: Midday, after the sun has reached its zenith
• Asr: Afternoon
• Maghrib: Sunset
• Isha: Night
In addition, Muslims hold a congregational prayer, called Jum’ah, at the mosque on Fridays. When Muslims pray Jum’ah, they are not required to pray Dhuhr afterwards.
