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.

What did Islam use to pray?
First of all, Muslims have some duties to do toward God, worshiping Him everyday is what Muslims do, Muslims pray 5 times a day, 1 prayer at the dawn time and one prayer at noonday, and another one is called Asr prayer which comes after noonday prayer in few hours, and one prayer when the sun goes down ( sunset ) and the final one is after the sunset prayer in few hours. P.S: Muslims pray to their God, worshiping only Him, they don\'t worship the sun or moon or anything else, only God, and please know that prayers usually don\'t take more than 5 minutes each, which Muslims believe it\'s a very short time to worship God so Muslims do other prayers that Muhammad used to pray, so they can get closer to God, but any other prayer else the 5 prayers in the beginning is considered optional :)

For me, as an atheist, prayer would be a waste of time since I would know that there is no one listening.

This applies equally to the prayers of Christians, Muslims, Hindus and all others.
