The 5 prayers were ordained in the Night journey to Heaven in 621 AD when Prophet Mohammad (SAW) was taken to Heaven to see The Almighty God, and on his return he was given 50 daily prayers for the people. On the way back the Prophet met Prophet Moses (PUH) who said that it will be too much for the people and requested Prophet Mohammad to go back and ask for reduction in the number of prayers. After a few repeated visits it was reduced to 5 prayers per day
