Ritual purity and wudu are prerequisites for performing the prayers.The daily obligatory prayers collectively form the second of the five pillars in Islam, observed five times every day at prescribed times. These are Fajr (observed at dawn), Zuhr (observed at noon), Asr (observed late in the afternoon), Maghrib (observed after sunset), and Isha (observed at dusk). Salah can be performed either in solitude, or collectively (known as jama’ah). When performed in jama’ah, worshippers line up in parallel rows behind a leader, known as the imam.
