Prayer Times

In Muslim communities, people are reminded of the salat by the daily calls to prayer, known as adhan. The adhan are delivered from mosques by a muezzin, the mosque’s designated caller of prayer. During the call to prayer, the muezzin recites the Takbir and the Kalimah. Prayer Times Traditionally, the calls were made from the mosque’s minaret without amplification, though many modern mosques use loudspeakers so that the faithful can hear the call more clearly. The prayer times themselves are dictated by the position of the sun: Fajr Namaj : This prayer starts of the day with the remembrance of God; it is performed before sunrise.

Dhuhr Namaj : After the day’s work has begun, one breaks shortly after noon to again remember God and seek His guidance.
Asr Namaj: In the late afternoon, people take a few minutes to remember God and the greater meaning of their lives.
Maghrib Namaj: Just after the sun goes down, Muslims remember God again as the day begins to come to a close.
