The prayer is led by an [[imam]] who stands in front of everyone so that everyone can see him and follow his lead. Everyone behind form rows and columns, with women always behind the men with a curtain between.
The prayers are ''salat-ul-fair'', the morning prayer, ''salat-ul-zuhr'', the noon prayer, ''salat-ul-asr'', the afternoon prayer, ''salat-ul-maghrib'', the evening prayer, and ''salat-ul-isha'', the night prayer. The prayers are not identical, some are longer than others. Muslims may choose to extend their prayers as they wish.

In Islam, there are five daily obligatory prayers for all Muslims. Many Muslims find salat the most important part of their faith, because of its frequency and depth. It is done first to glorify Allah, and second to realign the individual with Allah's will.
''Salat'' begins with ablution, purification washing of the hands and face. Prayer is divided into repetitions of rak'as: standing, bowing, sitting, prostrating, quoting the Qur'an, and reciting prayers. Each prayer is begun by the ''adhan'', the call to prayer. In Muslim countries, the ''adhan'' is recited through the minarets of mosques, the reason they were built.
