Salah is considered one of the Five Pillars Of Islam. It is an essential aspect of a Muslim’s faith and daily life. Muslims worldwide face the Kaaba in Makkah while performing their prayers. It is performed at five designated times throughout the day and night. These five daily prayers are:

1. Fajr: The pre-dawn prayer, performed before the sunrise
2. Dhuhr: The midday prayer, offered after the sun has passed its zenith and begins to decline
3. Asr: The late afternoon prayer, before sunset
4. Maghrib: The prayer just after sunset
5. Isha: The night prayer, performed after the twilight, has disappeared.

What is The Meaning of Salah?

Salah is basically defined as the act of praying to Allah, our beloved Lord. The most literal translation means to make prayers or supplication, an elevated act of worshipping Allah.

This is an action specifically commanded for, in the Holy Qur’an, having great significance in the life of a Muslim. 

The Performance of Salah

While the actions taken in Salah are physical, the connection solely bases itself on the niyyah. A deep association with Allah while praying.

Muslims should be clean, wear properly covered clothes, and face the Kabah while in Salah. There is also a need to recite parts of the Holy Book during the prayers.
