Muslims pray 5 times a day in the mosque. They don't have to pray it in the mosque, they can pray any were. But it is preferred to be prayed in a mosque, and with a group for bigger reward. For each prayer they call for it 2 times. The first time they call for the prayer is called

Athan.

The

Athan

let's people know that it is time for that prayer, and they have to start getting ready, and coming in the mosque to pray. After the

Athan

they wait 5- 10 minutes then they make

Eqama.

Right after the

Eqama

all of the people in the mosque gather in a straight line to reform the prayer. Men in the front, and ladies in the back. They have to be separated. Men, and women can't be together. The Imam/ leader comes to the front row to lead them. Not because they don't know how to pray, but because in Islam there has to be a leader. The way they make

Athan,

and

Eqama

is a person says specific memorized words. He says them in the microphone so every one could hear. And start getting ready, after they have performed the prayer. They sit for few minutes, and say some holy words. After that they finish they, are able to leave the mosque, and come back for the next prayer later. The prayers are atdifferenttimes of the day.The first is a Little earlier than sun rise, and it is calledFajr/Subh.The second is at noon, and it is called

Thudr.

The Third is calledAsr,and it is 2-3 hours after

Thudr.

The fourth is called

Magrib.

It is after sun set. Last but not least the final prayer of the day is called

Esha.

Esha

is 2-3 hours after

Magrib.
