Daily Prayers

Salat

Salat(compulsory prayer) is offered five times a day, either in congregation here at the Mosque or individually. It is a practical demonstration of faith, and keeps a believer in constant touch with his Creator. The benefits of Salah are far-reaching, long-lasting and immeasurable. Salah prepares Muslims to work towards the establishment of true order in society, and the removal of falsehood, evil and indecency. It develops self-discipline, steadfastness and obedience to the Truth, leading to patience, honesty and truthfulness in the affairs of life.

The five daily prayers are:

  • Fajr - between dawn and sunrise
  • Zuhr - between midday and mid-afternoon
  • Asr - between mid-afternoon and sunset
  • Maghrib - just after sunset
  • Isha - between night fall and dawn
