When midday comes, she stops
again to ponder over her day with her Lord in the Thuhr Prayer
and in order to correct her deeds of the beginning of the day.
As mid-afternoon comes, she prays her prayer, facing with it the
rest of her day. Then the Maghrib (Sunset) comes. In front of
her is the night and the (Sunset and) Isha Prayers during it
will carry her through the night, although it is the time of
hidden acts, with light and guidance to the sound path.
Furthermore, the prayer, in its varied times, is an opportunity
to ponder over Allah's dominion and His perfection concerning
everything that encompasses man in his night and day.
The Time of the Thuhr Prayer
The time of the Thuhr Prayer begins when the sun passes the
meridian or its zenith. The ending of the time for Thuhr is when
the shadow of something is equal to the thing's length in the
afternoon.
The Time of the Asr Prayer
The beginning of the time for the Asr Prayer is when the shadow
of something is equal to its length in the afternoon, as such is
when the time for the Thuhr Prayer comes to an end. As for the
ending of the time of the Asr Prayer, the choice time by which
to pray it is when the shadow of something is twice its own
length. However, if necessary, it may be prayed all the way up
until (just before) the sun sets.
The Time of the Maghrib Prayer
The beginning of the time for the Maghrib Prayer is when the sun
sets. Its final time is when the stars become numerous and form
clusters with one another. However, its actual final time,
although it is dislike to delay it until this time, is when the
twilight is finished.
The Time of the Isha Prayer
Its earliest time is when the twilight has disappeared. Its
ending time is when half of the night has passed.
The Time of the Fajr Prayer
Its earliest time is at the second (or true) dawn and its ending
time is sunrise.
