Q&A · Prayer

What are the times of the five daily prayers?

Fajr is prayed from dawn until sunrise; Dhuhr from just after midday until the afternoon; Asr in the late afternoon until sunset; Maghrib just after sunset; and Isha from nightfall until midnight (and, in need, until dawn). Their appointed times are established in the Quran and Sunnah.
