Praise be to Allaah.

Allaah has enjoined upon His slaves five prayers throughout the day and night at specific times decreed by the wisdom of Allaah so that the slave may be in contact with his Lord in these prayers throughout all of these times. They are for the heart like water for a tree, given to it time after time, not all in one go and then it stops.

Part of the wisdom behind doing the prayers at these times is so that people will not get bored or find it too difficult, which would happen if they all had to be done at once. Blessed be Allaah, the Wisest of judges.

(From the Introduction to Risaalat Ahkaam Mawaaqeet al-Salaah (Essay on the Rulings on the Times of the Prayers) by Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymeen, may Allaah have mercy on him).

Answer 1At dawn Answer 2They are five cyclic praying. If you assume that the 24 hour day starts with sunset, then the first praying is Maghrib (or sunset) praying. If you assume the 24 hour day starts with sunrise, then the first praying is Fajr (or dawn) praying.

It varies with latitude of the location and the time of year.

For example, Maghrib prayer is at sunset. Obviously, the sun sets at different times, depending on the location and day.

Refer to the the Islamic Finder website shown in link below to find the exact time for each of the prayers for your specific location.

Answer 3Muslims pray five times a day. It is not important for Muslims which praying marks out the start of the day. Some consider midnight, midday, sunset, or sunrise. What is important for a Muslim is to know the starting time for each prayer. You may refer to related question below for this regards.
