After reciting the Shahadeh, the creed to Islam which is translated into: I bear witness to that there is no deity worthy of worship, except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah", praying five times a day becomes obligatory for all Muslims. A great way to master the performance of Salaat (prayer) is to learn from other Muslims face to face. Each prayer of the day must be performed according to its time slot in the day. Here is the following order: Fajr (Morning Prayer) begins about one hour and twenty minutes before sunrise and ends about ten minutes before sunrise. Duhr (Noon Prayer) begins when the sun passes the meridian and ends about two and a half hours afterwards. Asr (Afternoon Prayer) begins from the time the noon prayer time ends and ends about 10 minutes before sunset. Maghrib (Sunset) begins soon after sunset ends and ends before darkness approaches. Isha (Night Prayer) begins from the time the sunset prayer ends and extends till just before the morning prayer. For exact timings of each prayer, obtain a prayer timetable from your nearest masjid or any Muslim website.
