The Number of Prayers in Islam

The Number Of Prayers in Islam.

In Islam, we have five prayers. Which are:

Cartoon sunrise
1. Fajr:
Fajr is only two rak'as, it's done just before the sun rises, and it's better to pray two rak'as of sunnah before it.

2. Zuhr:
Zuhr is four rak'as, it's done when the 
sun is in the middle of the sky (when objects have no shadows),
and it's of great reward to pray four rak'as of sunnah before it and two rak'as after it.

3. Asr:
Asr is four rak'as, it's done when the
shadow of an object is equal (in length)
to it, and there is no sunnah for this prayer.

4. Maghrib:
Maghrib is three rak'as,it's done when
the sun is completely beneath the horizon, and praying two rak'as of sunnah after it would be rewarding.

5. Isha'
Isha' is four rak'as, it's done when 
there is complete darkness and the
white twilight had disappeared, and two rak'as of sunnah are prayed after it.

What Should Be Done In Preparation For Salaah


WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN PREPARATION FOR SALAAH?
At least four things should be done before salaah.
The first thing is:
Ablution ( wudoo') -- It's better to be done even before going to the masjid.
The second thing is:
Before going out of the house ( heading towards the masjid ), you should make sure that you wear your best clothes, and you shouldn't have a bad smell.
The third thing is:
When you go out of the house heading towards the masjid, you should walk with calmness, not running towads the masjid, so when you get to pray, you can be concentrating and having Khushoo'.
The fourth thing is:
When you go to the masjid, you can pray sunnah ( 2 rakaa's)
