Islamic prayer timings are not random; they are carefully set at special moments during the day. These timings help Muslims stay spiritually connected and disciplined. The five daily prayers, called Salah in Arabic, link closely to the sun’s journey across the sky.

Here’s the amazing timing lineup for each prayer:

• Fajr: The first call at dawn, just before sunrise.
• Dhuhr: The midday prayer, when the sun starts to lean west.
• Asr: Late afternoon, when shadows grow longer.
• Maghrib: Right after the sun dips below the horizon.
• Isha: The night prayer, after the twilight fades away.
