Prayer is one of the main and most important pillar in Islam. It is a connection between a person and Almighty Allah, the Creator.

A person should and must pray five times a day as Allah prescribed and made obligatory upon each and every Muslim to pray five times a day.

These five daily prayers are Fajr (Dawn) prayer, Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer, `Asr (Afternoon) Prayer, Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer, and –`Isha’ (Night) Prayer.

A Muslim must cover his `awrah (private parts) and what is meant by awrah? It is the part that a person should cover while praying.

For a man, `awrah is from his navel until his knee and this is the minimum requirement for a man to pray. For a woman, a Muslim woman must cover all her body except her face and hands.

As we mentioned in another video, a person must perform wudu’ (ablution) before prayer. After that, a person can offer prayer.

We hope this step by step guide to Prayer will help you perform your prayer correctly…
