What are the obligatory prayers in Islam?
In Islam there are five obligatory (fard) prayers, each performed strictly within its prescribed time window.
- Fajr
- The pre-dawn prayer observed before sunrise, when the sky begins to lighten but the solar disc has not yet appeared above the horizon. Fajr time begins at astronomical dawn (typically when the sun is 15–18° below the horizon) and ends at sunrise.
- Dhuhr
- The midday prayer that starts immediately after the sun passes its zenith (highest point) and continues until the Asr time begins.
- Asr
- The late afternoon prayer, determined by the length of an object’s shadow: in most schools it begins when the shadow equals the object’s height (in the Hanafi school, when it is twice the height). The Asr period lasts until sunset.
- Maghrib
- The evening prayer performed immediately after sunset. Maghrib time ends with the disappearance of the red afterglow (civil dusk).
- Isha
- The night prayer that begins after the last red and white hues vanish in the west (after astronomical dusk). It typically starts when the sun is 17–18° below the horizon and continues until midnight or dawn, depending on the school of thought.
