What is Salah? and it’s Importance in Ramadan

Salah, also known as prayer, is the second pillar of Islam and the main way Muslims worship. It is observed five times a day at predetermined times that correspond to the sun’s trajectory. This guide offers prayer timings for Abu Dhabi in March, along with details on Salah, Adhan (the call to prayer), and Rakats.

Salah is a compulsory act of worship carried out by Muslims five times a day. It’s an effective way to communicate directly with Allah, to ask for His guidance, and to express appreciation. The five essential prayers are:

1. Fajr: To be said at dawn before the sun rises.
2. Dhuhr: To be said at noon after the sun passes its highest point.
3. Asr: To be said in the afternoon.
4. Maghrib: To be said just after sunset.
5. Isha – To be said at night.
6. Additional Prayers

Besides the five obligatory prayers, there are many other important prayers in Islam:

• Jumuah Prayer: Shown on Fridays at noon.
• Tahajjud Prayer: It is prayed in the early morning; it is more recommended but not compulsory.
• Tarawih Prayer: Added to the Isha prayer while during the holy month of Ramadan.
• Eid Prayers: Marked on Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha.

Salah Rakats

1. Fajr: 2 Sunnah + 2 Fard
2. Dhuhr: 4 Sunnah + 4 Fard + 2 Sunnah + 2 Nafl

Value of Praying in Groups

Muslims can pray in any location they want, but it is very important to pray in a congregation in a mosque, as it strengthens the spirit of unity and community among the believers. Mosques in Abu Dhabi have nice accommodations for worshippers to perform their daily prayers, Jumu’ah (Friday prayers), and Taraweeh during Ramadan.
