Salaah Time in Every Day
Salaah Time - As Muslims, we are commanded by Allah to pray
five times a day. Do you already know the schedule, if you haven't already,
please read this page until it's finished.
This page will help you know the prayer schedule, Adhan and
qamat which is a call to pray when the prayer time has entered.

Salaah Time in every Day
Fajr : From dawn until just before sunrise.
Dhuhr : After the sun’s zenith until late afternoon.
Asr : From late afternoon until just before sunset.
Maghrib : From sunset until just before twilight (when the
sky turns completely dark).
Isha' : From twilight until dawn.
All these prayers must be prayed at the times mentioned above. However, there are exceptions for when it is permissible to combine prayers. For example, (Dhuhr and Asr) or (Maghrib and Isha') may be prayed right after each other. You can combine these two prayers when you are traveling, if you are sick, very sleepy, very tired, or if you cannot control your schedule (classes or work). These are the exceptions and should not become the norm.
If you are praying at the Masjid (mosque) in a congregation,
and there are bad weather conditions, like rain, snow, ice, etc., then it is
permissible to combine these pairs of prayers. You can pray the earlier prayer
at the time of the later prayer or vice versa.
Adhan “The Call to Prayer”
The Adhan is an announcement of the prayer times and it is
used to call Muslims to the prayers. The person who gives the Adhan is called
the Mu'adhin (Caller). It is preferred that the Mu'adhin has a beautiful voice.
While calling for prayer, he stands facing the Qiblah and raises his hands to
his ears, and calls out:
"Allahu Akbar This means: Allah is the Greatest
Allahu Akbar This means: Allah is the Greatest
Allahu Akbar This means: Allah is the Greatest
Allahu Akbar This means: (Allah is the Greatest
Ashhadu alla ilaha illallah This means: I bear witness that
there is no god but Allah
Ashhadu alla ilaha illallah This means: I bear witness that
there is no god but Allah
Ashhadu anna muhammadar rasulullah This means: I bear
witness that Muhammad is Allah's messenger
Ashhadu anna muhammadar rasulullah This means: I bear
witness that Muhammad is Allah's messenger
Hayya alas Salah This means: Rush to prayer
Hayya alas Salah This means: Rush to prayer
Hayya alal Falah This means: Rush to success
Hayya alal Falah This means: Rush to success
Allahu Akbar This means: Allah is the Greatest
Allahu Akbar This means: Allah is the Greatest
La ilaha illallah" There is no god but Allah
The first Adhan for Fajr Salah should be shortly before Fajr
time to help awaken the people. The following is added after "Hayya alal
Falah”:
"Assalatu khayrum minan naum" This means: Salah is
better than sleep
"Assalatu khayrum minan naum" This means: Salah is
better than sleep
However, there is no need for this addition in the second
Adhan, which should be made at the beginning of Fajr time. It is strongly
recommended that whenever possible, Muslim males should offer their Fard
(compulsory) prayers in congregation at the Masjid (mosque).
Iqamah
Iqamah is another call to prayer that is said just before
the actual start of Salah. Iqamah is exactly like the Adhan, except that after
"Hayya alal Falah” the following is added:
"Qad qamatis Salah This means: The prayer has begun
Qad qamatis Salah" This means: The prayer has begun
Iqamah is said in a lower voice and much faster than the
Adhan. It is also directed to the group that is already present for the prayer.
