According to the instructions and practice of Prophet Muhammed (SAWS), following periods have been fixed for offering Namaaz:

  • Fajar: From dawn to just before sunrise.

  • Zuhar: After noon. From the time the sun starts declining till the time the shadow of everything is twice its own size.

  • Asar: After Zuhar till just before sun set.

  • Maghrab: After sun set till the light in the sky disappears.

  • Isha: After Maghrib till just before dawn. It should preferably be offered before mid-night.

  • Namaz Jumaa (Friday Noon Prayer): Same as Zuhar. (as Jamat)
