Prayer timings vary throughout the globe and slight variations from day to day due to changes in daylight hours.
There are five obligatory prayers which are performed at five different times
of the day.
1. FAJR PRAYER (The Morning Prayer)
It is the first of the five obligatory prayers of the day. It starts at dawn and ends at sunrise. Thus it can be prayed between these points. But it is best to pray at the beginning of its time (i.e. just after start of dawn)
2. ZHUHR PRAYER (The Early Afternoon Prayer)
It starts when the sun begins to decline from its zenith and ends when the the size of an object's shadow is equal to the objects size.
3. ASR’ PRAYER (The Late Afternoon Prayer)
It starts when an object's shadow is equal to the objects size and ends when just before sunset.
It is better to pray Asr before the sky becomes yellow (even though it is allowed to pray at such a time) because the Prophet ( peace be upon him) disliked Muslims praying at such as time and. He remarked that the the Munafiq (Hypocrite ) offers his pray at this time.Its time begins just after sunset and ends when
twilight has just disappeared
5. ISHA PRAYER (The Night Prayer)
It starts when twilight has disappeared and ends before midnight
