Salah is prayed five times a day at set windows — Fajr (dawn), Dhuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset), and Isha (night) — and takes only a few minutes each time once you know the pattern. This app's prayer times and tracker will show you exactly when each window opens where you are.

Each prayer is made of units called rak'ahs (Fajr has two, Dhuhr/Asr/Isha have four, Maghrib has three), and every rak'ah follows the same basic shape: standing while reciting, bowing (ruku'), and two prostrations (sujud), with fixed words of praise and Qur'an said at each position.

Before praying, you perform wudu — a short ritual washing of the hands, mouth, face, arms, head, and feet — and you pray facing the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah (the qibla), which this app can also point you toward.

This overview is intentionally high level. The exact wording said at each position, step-by-step video-style instructions, and a full beginner course all live in the dedicated Salah guide — start there next, and use the phrases guide alongside it to learn the words with transliteration and translation.
