There are five obligatory prayers in a day. Each Salat must be offered at or during its proper time.The Muslim should make a serious effort to pray each prayer at the beginning of its period.

1. The Morning Prayer (SALAT-UL-FAJR)
It can be performed at any time between the breaking of the dawn till just before sunrise.

2. The Noon Prayer (SALAT-UL-ZUHR)
Its time begins after the sun declines from its zenith until it is about mid-afternoon.

3. The Afternoon Prayer (SALAT-UL-ASR)
Its time begins soon after the time for Zuhr prayer ends and extends to just before sunset.

4. The Evening Prayer (SALAT-UL-MAGHRIB)
Its time begins just after sunset and extends to a period of an hour and a half.

5. The Night Prayer (SALAT-UL-ISHA)
Its time begins about an hour and a half after sunset and extends to dawn
