How do you know it is time for prayer for Muslims?

Answer 1

Muslims are required to offer formal prayers, salat, five times per day:

Fajr: between dawn and sunrise
Zhur: between noon and midafternoon
Asr: between midafternoon and sunset
Maghreb: between sunset and full darkness
Isha: between fulll darkness and Fajr, although it is preferred to offer it before midnight

The times of these prayers are determined by observation of the natural world, so that people living in undeveloped or developing countries, as well as those in developed countries, can easily ascertain the correct times for prayer.

Because celestial observations are sometimes obscured by clouds, Muslims have made up prayer time charts based on previous observations or on astronomical calculation, so that they can still determine the correct times of prayer, no matter what the weather is like.

nowadays they have prayer time tables on a calendare but in olden days they were used to look at the sky and decide wether it is prayer time or not, and they inform other people by saying ''azaan'' in speaker which can be heard in far places.

Good question. they pray when they want to. lol jokes

Fajr: from dawn until sunrise.

Zhur: from noon until midafternoon.

Asr: from midafternoon until sunset.

Magreb: from sunset until full darkness.

Isha: from full darkness until fajr, although it should be offered before midnight.

Most people these days rely on timetables rather than celestial observation. There are a number or electronic devices and computer programs that alert people when it's time to pray. You can find one of the latter at islamicfinder.org.

A Muslim must pray five times a day at appointed times. He may pray to Almighty Allah besides these obligatory prayers any time he likes, especially when he is in difficulty or he wants to offer thanks to Almighty Allah.

Answer 4

by looking to the sun and the shade of the sun.

the first one of the day is in the early morning before the sunrise! i don't know how to tell when the time starts, but i am assuming its about 2 hours before the sunrise and you have till just before the sunrise to perform that prayer.

the second and third one have to do with the height or intensity of sun!?!

the fourth one's time starts right at sunset to about an hour and half.

the fifth and last one of the day's time starts from about 1 1/2 hour after the sunset till the next prayer's start time
