The five daily prayers are among the Five Pillars of Islam. The other four include traveling to Mecca (called ‘Hajj’) at least once in one’s life, fasting during the holy month of Ramadan (called ‘Sawm’), knowing and sincerely reciting the Muslim profession of faith (called ‘Shahadah’), and helping the poor and donating to charities (called ‘Zakat’). Honouring the five pillars of Islam is the best way for a person to show how faithful he or she is. Praying is among the most visible evidence of this faithfulness.

Dhuhr, the ‘noon prayer’, is performed from the moment the sun declines from its zenith to the moment the length of shadows equates the actual length of things. As a rule, the break for this prayer is short because most people are at work. Since not everybody can visit a mosque to praise Allah at this moment of the day, it is possible to find a quiet corner at home, in an office, or elsewhere to perform this prayer. It is essential to face Mecca during communication with Allah.

Due to the natural rhythms and the movement of our planet around the sun, in August (Dhu al-Qidah), the time for Zuhr will come between 12:29 pm at the beginning of the month and 12:23 pm closer to the end of the month.

Isha is the latest part of Salah. The time given for its performance starts right after the completion of Maghrib and ends immediately before the beginning of Fajr.
