وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍ بِقِيعَةٍ يَحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْآنُ مَاءً حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءَهُ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْئًا وَوَجَدَ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ فَوَفَّاهُ حِسَابَهُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ أَوْ كَظُلُمَاتٍ فِي بَحْرٍ لُجِّيٍّ يَغْشَاهُ مَوْجٌ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ مَوْجٌ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ سَحَابٌ ۚ ظُلُمَاتٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ إِذَا أَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ لَمْ يَكَدْ يَرَاهَا ۗ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ نُورًا فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ نُورٍ أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالطَّيْرُ صَافَّاتٍ ۖ كُلٌّ قَدْ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهُ وَتَسْبِيحَهُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ الْمَصِيرُ أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُزْجِي سَحَابًا ثُمَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَهُ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ رُكَامًا فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَالِهِ وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ جِبَالٍ فِيهَا مِنْ بَرَدٍ فَيُصِيبُ بِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَصْرِفُهُ عَنْ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۖ يَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِهِ يَذْهَبُ بِالْأَبْصَارِ
The deeds of the unbelievers are like a mirage which a thirsty man thinks is water until he goes near and finds nothing. Instead he finds God who gives him his due recompense. God´s reckoning is swift. Or it (the deeds of the unbelievers) are like the darkness of a deep, stormy sea with layers of giant waves, covered by dark clouds. It is darkness upon darkness whereby even if one stretches out his hands he can not see them. One can have no light unless God gives him light. Have you not considered that all that is between the heavens and the earth glorifies God and that the birds spread their wings in the air to glorify God? He knows everyone´s prayers and praising; God has absolute knowledge of what they do. To God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and to Him do all things return. Do you not see that God moves the clouds gently, brings them together, piles them up, and then you can see the rain coming from them. He sends down hailstones from the mountains in the sky. With them He strikes or protects from them whomever He wants. The lightening can almost take away the sight.
جن لوگوں نے کفر کیا ان کے اعمال کی مثال ایسی ہے جیسے میدان میں ریت کہ پیاسا اسے پانی سمجھے یہاں تک کہ جب اس کے پاس آئے تو اسے کچھ بھی نہ پائے اور خدا ہی کو اپنے پاس دیکھے تو وہ اسے اس کا حساب پورا پورا چکا دے۔ اور خدا جلد حساب کرنے والا ہے یا (ان کے اعمال کی مثال ایسی ہے) جیسے دریائے عمیق میں اندھیرے جس پر لہر چڑھی چلی آتی ہو اور اس کے اوپر اور لہر (آرہی ہو) اور اس کے اوپر بادل ہو، غرض اندھیرے ہی اندھیرے ہوں، ایک پر ایک (چھایا ہوا) جب اپنا ہاتھ نکالے تو کچھ نہ دیکھ سکے۔ اور جس کو خدا روشنی نہ دے اس کو (کہیں بھی) روشنی نہیں (مل سکتی) کیا تم نے نہیں دیکھا کہ جو لوگ آسمانوں اور زمین میں ہیں خدا کی تسبیح کرتے ہیں اور پر پھیلائے ہوئے جانور بھی۔ اور سب اپنی نماز اور تسبیح کے طریقے سے واقف ہیں۔ اور جو کچھ وہ کرتے ہیں (سب) خدا کو معلوم ہے اور آسمان اور زمین کی بادشاہی خدا کے لئے ہے۔ اور خدا ہی کی طرف لوٹ کر جانا ہے کیا تم نے نہیں دیکھا کہ خدا ہی بادلوں کو چلاتا ہے، اور ان کو آپس میں ملا دیتا ہے، پھر ان کو تہ بہ تہ کردیتا ہے، پھر تم دیکھتے ہو کہ بادل میں سے مینہ نکل (کر برس) رہا ہے اور آسمان میں جو (اولوں کے) پہاڑ ہیں، ان سے اولے نازل کرتا ہے تو جس پر چاہتا ہے اس کو برسا دیتا ہے اور جس سے چاہتا ہے ہٹا دیتا ہے۔ اور بادل میں جو بجلی ہوتی ہے اس کی چمک آنکھوں کو خیرہ کرکے بینائی کو اُچکے لئے جاتی ہے

What are muslim prayers?
Muslim prayers, known as Salah or Salat, are an integral part of the Islamic faith and are performed by Muslims as a way to establish a direct connection with Allah (God). They are considered one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
What about prayer timimgs?
Muslim prayers are performed at specific times throughout the day and night and involve a series of physical movements and recitations. The prayers are conducted facing the Kaaba in Mecca, which is considered the holiest site in Islam.
Are prayers obligatory?
Yes, there are five obligatory prayers that Muslims are required to perform daily:
- Fajr: The pre-dawn prayer, performed before sunrise.
- Dhuhr: The midday prayer, performed after the sun has passed its zenith.
- Asr: The afternoon prayer, performed in the late afternoon.
- Maghrib: The evening prayer, performed just after sunset.
- Isha: The night prayer, performed after twilight has disappeared.
What is Azaan and What is Iqamah?
The Azaan is the initial call to prayer that signals the time for a specific prayer and invites Muslims to the mosque, while the Iqamah is a shorter call that indicates the immediate start of the prayer and gathers the congregation for the worship. The timings mentioned on this page are for Azaan. This is normally a 15 mins gap between the Azaan and Iqamah, which is less as 5 minutes for Maghreb and could be slighltly longer up to 25 mins for Fajr prayer. Best practice is to wrap-up our work and start getting ready for prayers before azaan time.
What are Rak'ahs in prayer?
A "Rak'ah" (plural: Rak'at) refers to a unit of prayer that consists of a sequence of specific physical movements and recitations. The number of Rak'ahs varies depending on the time of day and the type of prayer being performed. Each Rak'ah has a distinct pattern of standing, bowing, prostrating, and sitting, accompanied by recitations from the Quran and supplications.
The number of Rak'ahs performed in each of the five daily prayers (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha) varies. For example, Fajr consists of 2 Rak'ahs, Dhuhr has 4 Rak'ahs, Asr has 4 Rak'ahs, Maghrib has 3 Rak'ahs, and Isha has 4 Rak'ahs. The total number of Rak'ahs in each prayer is determined by the teachings of Prophet Muhammad and Islamic jurisprudence.
How to complete the prayer if i missed one or more Rak'ahs while praying in congregation (Jama'at)?
For example, you have missed 3 Rak'ahs in Isha and joined in the forth (maximum before or by the time the imam is still in Rakooh). You need to form the intention (niyyah) for the prayer in your heart. Then, say the Takbeer (Allahu Akbar) to join. Stand in Qayaam even for a couple of seconds even if the imam has moved on already when you joined (if still in qayaam, follow him). Complete the prayer with imam, once he gives the Salam, stand up without giving Salam. Now you have to complete ths prayer by keeping the normal sequence considering as if it is your second Rak'ah second (as one you have already prayed with imam), you need to sit in Tashahhud. Then after that you stand up and pray two more Rak'ahs and sit again for final Tashahhud and Salam. (Note: Consult the islamic scholors in case of any questions.)
