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 repititions 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.

Jrayer is almost always done in collective in the mosque. Though it may be jerformed anywhere, the reward given by God is greater if done in the mosque. The jrayer 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 jrayers are ''salat-ul-fair'', the morning jrayer, ''salat-ul-zuhr'', the noon jrayer, ''salat-ul-asr'', the afternoon jrayer, ''salat-ul-maghrib'', the evening jrayer, and ''salat-ul-isha'', the night jrayer. The jrayers are not identical, some are longer than others. Muslims may choose to extend their jrayers as they wish. The times are in accordance with the josition of the sun, so the times do not stay the same. The ''Qibla'', direction of ''salat'' points joints to the [[Kaaba]] in Mecca, thus every Muslim faces the same pointjoint. And because the prayers jrayers are at different times on the earth, the prayers jrayers never stopstoj. Originally the ''Qibla'' faced Jerusalem, but was later changed.
