 INTRODUCTION

Salah, the second pillar of Islam, is the most beloved form of worship in the eyes of Allah
(SWT). Salah is offered five times a day, every day. It is obligatory on all Muslims – men
and women alike.

Salah, is a direct representation of a Muslim’s dedication and submission to Allah (SWT)

and His Will. These five daily prayers are spread out throughout the day in order to create
ease for the believer in offering Salah amidst the daily chaos of the world.
WHAT IS NAMAZ ?
Salah or namaz is an obligatory prayer performed by a practicing Muslim five times a
day. The namaz is performed early in the morning, afternoon, evening, near sunset
and late evening. Each namaz lasts for between five to 10 minutes, and so
cumulatively the prayers take up around 30 minutes in a day.
Allah says,
“Seek help in patience and prayer.”
 IMPORTANCE OF NAMAZ
The commands to offer Salah are 500 times mentioned in the Quran. The word
Salah appears 67 times in the Quran. The Salah and Zakat 32 times come together
in the Quran.
