Why do you not fight for the cause of God or save the helpless men, women, and children who cry out, "Lord, set us free from this town of wrong doers and send us a guardian and a helper?" The believers fight for the cause of God. The unbelievers fight for the cause of the Satan. So fight against the friends of Satan for the evil plans of Satan are certainly weak. Have you not seen those who were told to stop fighting, to say their prayers, and pay the religious tax? When they were ordered to fight, some of them feared other men as much as or more than they feared God and so they said, "Lord, why have you ordered us to fight? If only you would give us a little time." (Muhammad), tell them, "The pleasures of the worldly life are trivial. The life hereafter is best for the pious ones. You will not be treated the slightest bit unjustly. Wherever you are, death will find you even if you hide yourselves in firmly constructed towers. Whenever people experience good fortune, they say that it is from God but whenever they experience misfortune, they say it is because of you, (Muhammad). Tell them, "Everything is from God." What is wrong with these people that they do not even try to understand? Whatever good you may receive is certainly from God and whatever you suffer is from yourselves. We have sent you, (Muhammad), as a Messenger to people. God is a Sufficient witness to your truthfulness.
اور تم کو کیا ہوا ہے کہ خدا کی راہ میں اور اُن بےبس مردوں اور عورتوں اور بچوں کی خاطر نہیں لڑتے جو دعائیں کیا کرتے ہیں کہ اے پروردگار ہم کو اس شہر سے جس کے رہنے والے ظالم ہیں نکال کر کہیں اور لے جا۔ اور اپنی طرف سے کسی کو ہمارا حامی بنا۔ اور اپنی ہی طرف سے کسی کو ہمارا مددگار مقرر فرما جو مومن ہیں وہ تو خدا کے لئے لڑتے ہیں اور جو کافر ہیں وہ بتوں کے لئے لڑتے ہیں سو تم شیطان کے مددگاروں سے لڑو۔ (اور ڈرو مت) کیونکہ شیطان کا داؤ بودا ہوتا ہے بھلا تم نے ان لوگوں کو نہیں دیکھا جن کو (پہلے یہ) حکم دیا گیا تھا کہ اپنے ہاتھوں کو (جنگ سے) روکے رہو اور نماز پڑھتے رہو اور زکوٰة دیتے رہو پھر جب ان پر جہاد فرض کردیا گیا تو بعض لوگ ان میں سے لوگوں سے یوں ڈرنے لگے جیسے خدا سے ڈرا کرتے ہیں بلکہ اس سے بھی زیادہ اور بڑبڑانے لگے کہ اے خدا تو نے ہم پر جہاد (جلد) کیوں فرض کردیا تھوڑی مدت اور ہمیں کیوں مہلت نہ دی (اے پیغمبر ان س)ے کہہ دو کہ دنیا کا فائدہ بہت تھوڑا ہے اور بہت اچھی چیز تو پرہیزگار کے لئے (نجات) آخرت ہے اور تم پر دھاگے برابر بھی ظلم نہیں کیا جائے گا (اے جہاد سے ڈرنے والو) تم کہیں رہو موت تو تمہیں آ کر رہے گی خواہ بڑے بڑے محلوں میں رہو اور ان لوگوں کو اگر کوئی فائدہ پہنچتا ہے تو کہتے ہیں یہ خدا کی طرف سے ہے اور اگر کوئی گزند پہنچتا ہے تو (اے محمدﷺ تم سے) کہتے ہیں کہ یہ گزند آپ کی وجہ سے (ہمیں پہنچا) ہے کہہ دو کہ (رنج وراحت) سب الله ہی کی طرف سے ہے ان لوگوں کو کیا ہوگیا ہے کہ بات بھی نہیں سمجھ سکتے اے (آدم زاد) تجھ کو جو فائدہ پہنچے وہ خدا کی طرف سے ہے اور جو نقصان پہنچے وہ تیری ہی (شامت اعمال) کی وجہ سے ہے اور (اے محمدﷺ) ہم نے تم کو لوگوں (کی ہدایت) کے لئے پیغمبر بنا کر بھیجا ہے اور (اس بات کا) خدا ہی گواہ کافی 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.)
