Prayer Importance — Certianly, the [obligatory] prayers have been prescribed to the believers to be performed at specific times.

The Dawn Prayer (Fajr)

Its time begins with the appearance of the true dawn, which is a white horizontal light that appears in the eastern horizon. Its time remains until sunrise.

The Noon Prayer (Zuhr)

Its time begins when the sun declines westward from the middle of the sky. It ends when the shadow of an object becomes equal to the length of that object plus the length of its shadow when the sun was at its zenith (dhilul-istiwa). The object may be a straight wooden stick that is plunged upright into the ground. If the sun moves westward from its zenith, the person will notice that the shadow will elongate and lean eastward. This is the sign that the Noon Prayer is in.

The Afternoon Prayer (Asr)

Its time begins after the time of Zuhr ends, and it ends with the setting of the sun. Hence, if the shadow of an object becomes equal to the length of that object plus its length when the sun was at its zenith, then the time of Zuhr ends and the Asr time begins.

The Sunset Prayer (Maghrib)

Its time begins with sunset, i.e., the disappearance of the entire disk of sun, which takes 2.30 minutes after the scientific sunset. It finishes when the redness (evening twilight) in the western horizon disappears.

The Nightfall Prayer (Ishaa)

Its time begins with the disappearance of the redness in the western horizon and remains until the appearance of the true dawn.
