"The seven heavens and the earth and all that is
therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing but
glorifies His Praise. But you understand not their
glorification. Truly, He is All-Clement, Most
Forgiving." (17/44 )

4. Salat is the name for the daily
prescribed prayers performed five
times a day and the Jumu’a (Friday)
prayer.
It is the most important type of
worship, for it displays a person’s
sincerity and loyalty to God.
In the words of God’s Messenger, it is the
pillar or main support of religious life.

Importance of Prayer

6. Who is it applicable to?
No Priests
There is no hierarchical authority in
Islam, and no priests, so the prayers
are led by a learned person (Imam) who
knows the Qur'an, chosen by the
congregation.
These five prayers contain verses from
the Qur'an, and are said in Arabic, the
language of the Revelation, but personal
supplication can be offered in one's own
language.
Prayer is obligatory upon every
sane Muslim who has reached the
age of puberty. Only women having
their menstrual period or post-
children bleeding do not perform it.

7. Where is it performed?
It is permissible to pray at
home, at work, or even
outdoors however , it is
meritorious to perform it with
another or with a group.
Friday Prayers
The noon congregational prayer of
Friday afternoon is mandated to be a
collective and must be said in a
Mosque, and is preceded by a sermon
(Khutba).

8. The Meaning of SALAT (Prayer)
Each salat stands for praising, glorifying,
and feeling grateful to God.
We glorify Him by saying subhan Allah
(Glory be to God) by word and action in
awareness of His Majesty.
We exalt and magnify Him by saying
Allahu akbar(God is the Greatest)
through word and action in awareness of
His Perfection. We offer thanks to Him by saying al-
hamdu lillah (All Praise be to God) with
our heart, tongue, and body, in awareness
of His Grace.
From this we conclude that the heart of
prayer consists of glorification,
exaltation, praise, and thanksgiving.
Thus, these three phrases are present in
every part of the prayers, in all the
actions and words.

9. The times of the Five Daily Prescribed
Prayers
Prayers are performed at dawn,
noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and
nightfall, and thus determine the
rhythm of the entire day.
Establish the prayer at the beginning and
the end of the day, and in the watches of
night near to the day. Assuredly, good
deeds wipe out evil deeds. This is advice
and a reminder for the mindful who take
heed.
(Qur’an 11:114)

10. The time of Fajr(the early morning)
was appointed for the morning prayer.
The time of Zuhr(just past midday)
The time of ‘Asr(afternoon)
The time of Maghrib(sunset)
The time of ‘Isha(nightfall)
Five Times a Day

11. The Meaning of Different Prayer Times
Each prayer time is the opening of
a significant turning point, so also is
each a mirror to Divine disposal of
power and to the universal Divine
bounties within that disposal.
Thus, more glorification and extolling of
the All-Powerful One of Glory have been
ordered at those times, and more praise and
thanks for all the innumerable bounties
accumulated between each of the times,
which is the meaning of the prescribed
prayers

13. An Audience with God
Having faith, believers see in every event
a door to the wealth of God’s Mercy, and
knock on it via supplication. Realizing
that their Lord and Sustainer controls
everything, they take refuge in Him and
place their trust in Him, and demonstrate
their weakness and helplessness, humility
and poverty by bowing humbly with the
rest of the creation, saying: “Glory be to
my Lord, the Mighty. ”.
Prostrating in awareness of the
undying Beauty and Grace of His
Essence, His unchanging sacred
Attributes, and His constant
everlasting Perfection, they proclaim,
through detachment from all that is
not Him, their love and servanthood
in wonder and self-abasement.

15. Prophetic Sayings on SALAT
"The five (daily) Salat (prayers) and
the Friday (prayer) to the Friday
(prayer) expiate whatever (minor
sins) may be committed in between,
so long as major sins are avoided.''
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) asked his
companions, "Say, if there were a river at the
door of one of you in which he takes a bath
five times a day, would any soiling remain on
him?'' They replied, "No soiling would left on
him.'' He (PBUH) said, '' That is the five
(obligatory) Salat (prayers). Allah obliterates
all sins as a result of performing them.''

16. Verses from the Holy QUR’AN
“Recite what is sent of the Book by
inspiration to thee, and establish
regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains
from shameful and unjust deeds; and
remembrance of God is the greatest
(thing in life) without doubt. And God
knows the (deeds) that ye do.”
(Qur’an 29:45)
“Glory be to God whenever you reach
evening and whenever you rise in the
morning. All praise is for Him in the
heavens and on Earth in the late
afternoon, and whenever you reach the
noon.” (Qur’an 30:17-18)
