The daily prayers, or Salat, are an integral part of a Muslim's life. They are one of the five pillars of Islam and represent an essential act of devotion to God (Allah). Five prayers are obligatory each day: Fajr (before dawn), Dhuhr (afternoon), Asr (late afternoon), Maghrib (at sunset), and Isha (night). These prayer times help maintain a continuous spiritual connection with God, strengthening faith and discipline. Fajr
