There is a very good article at http://www.journeytojannah.com/salah.asp
That contains the following information:
The Second Pillar of Islam - SalahSalah is the name given to the formal prayer in Islam. Salah is one of the obligatory rights of the religion, to be performed five times a day by Muslims. The importance of the salah can be understood by the following hadith.
On the authority of Abu 'Abd al-Rahman 'Abdullah bin 'Umar bin al-Khattab, radiyallahu 'anhuma, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, say: "Islam has been built upon five things - on testifying that there is no god save Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger; on performing salah; on giving the zakah; on Hajj to the House; and on fasting during Ramadhan."
[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Salah is performed five times a day: at dawn (fajr), noon (dhuhr), in the afternoon (asr), at sunset (maghrib) and nightfall (isha'a)

Usually two (2) rakats
4 fardh, 2 sunnah, and 3 witr... If you wish to do tahajud or nafl, you must do it before witr
you read 4 sunnat before the jamaat and then 2 farz in the jamaat. after this, you read 4 sunnat again, then 2 sunnat, then 2 nafal. also, you do niyyah (intention) for jumma prayer in all these rakats not of zuhr prayer. so in total there are 14 rakats in jumma prayer.
you pray 12 rakats in total a day
4
Asr: i) Four rakat sunnat ghair Muakkadah (Optional but spiritually beneficial) ii) Four rakat Fard
4- Sunna, 4 - Faraz, 2-Snna, 2-Nafal= 12 rakat.
How many rakat are in the jumma namaz in suadi
Assalaam Alaikum All Muslims must pray 5 times a day. 1. Fajr prayer which is at dawn 2. Dhuhr prayer at around noon time 3. Asr prayer in the late afternoon 4. Maghrib prayer right after sunset 5. Isha prayer late in the night there is a range of times in which a Muslim can pray each prayer, but all prayers must be done each day. If one misses a prayer for any reason, they must make the prayer up at a later time [I've heard you must make the prayer up before the next maghrib prayer time, but I'm not sure how true that is]. The later prayer is called a Qazaa prayer. So in a 30-day month, a Muslim must pray 150 times.
