Hijri Calendar

The Hijri Calendar, also known as the Islamic or Lunar Calendar, is used by Muslims worldwide to determine religious observances and important dates. Based on the lunar cycle, it consists of 12 months totalling 354 or 355 days, making it approximately 11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar each year. The calendar marks its starting point from the Hijra — the migration of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE.

like that of those who lived before you, whose power, wealth, and children were much greater than yours. They enjoyed their share of the worldly gains and you, also, like them, have enjoyed yours. You have been sneaking among the people to cause trouble, just as they had been doing before you. Such people´s deeds are devoid of all virtue both in this life and in the life hereafter. They indeed are lost. 69 Have they not heard the stories of the people of Noah, the tribe of Ad, Thamud, the people of Abraham, the dwellers of the city of Midian, and those of the Subverted Cities? God´s Messengers came to each of them with miracles. God did not do any injustice to them, but they wronged themselves. 70 The believers, both male and female, are each other´s guardians. They try to make others do good, prevent them from committing sins, perform their prayers, pay the religious tax, and obey God and His Messenger. God will have mercy on them; He is Majestic and All-wise. 71 God has promised the believers gardens wherein streams flow and wherein they will live forever in the excellent mansions of the garden of Eden. What is more important than all this for them is that God is pleased with them. Such is the supreme triumph. 72 Prophet, fight the unbelievers and hypocrites vehemently for the cause of God. Their dwelling is hell, a terrible destination! 73
(تم منافق لوگ) ان لوگوں کی طرح ہو، جو تم سے پہلے ہوچکے ہیں۔ وہ تم سے بہت زیادہ طاقتور اور مال و اولاد میں کہیں زیادہ تھے تو وہ اپنے حصے سے بہرہ یاب ہوچکے۔ سو جس طرح تم سے پہلے لوگ اپنے حصے سے فائدہ اٹھا چکے ہیں۔ اسی طرح تم نے اپنے حصے سے فائدہ اٹھا لیا۔ اور جس طرح وہ باطل میں ڈوبے رہے اسی طرح تم باطل میں ڈوبے رہے یہ وہ لوگ ہیں جن کے اعمال دنیا اور آخرت میں ضائع ہوگئے۔ اور یہی نقصان اٹھانے والے ہیں 69 کیا ان کو ان لوگوں (کے حالات) کی خبر نہیں پہنچی جو ان سے پہلے تھے (یعنی) نوح اور عاد اور ثمود کی قوم۔ اور ابراہیم کی قوم اور مدین والے اور الٹی ہوئی بستیوں والے۔ ان کے پاس پیغمبر نشانیاں لے لے کر آئے۔ اور خدا تو ایسا نہ تھا کہ ان پر ظلم کرتا لیکن وہی اپنے آپ پر ظلم کرتے تھے 70 اور مومن مرد اور مومن عورتیں ایک دوسرے کے دوست ہیں کہ اچھے کام کرنے کو کہتے ہیں اور بری باتوں سے منع کرتے اور نماز پڑھتے اور زکوٰة دیتے اور خدا اور اس کے رسول کی اطاعت کرتے ہیں۔ یہی لوگ ہیں جن پر خدا رحم کرے گا۔ بےشک خدا غالب حکمت والا ہے 71 خدا نے مومن مردوں اور مومن عورتوں سے بہشتوں کا وعدہ کیا ہے جن کے نیچے نہریں بہہ رہی ہیں (وہ) ان میں ہمیشہ رہیں گے اور بہشت ہائے جاودانی میں نفیس مکانات کا (وعدہ کیا ہے) اور خدا کی رضا مندی تو سب سے بڑھ کر نعمت ہے یہی بڑی کامیابی ہے 72 اے پیغمبر! کافروں اور منافقوں سے لڑو۔ اور ان پر سختی کرو۔ اور ان کا ٹھکانہ دورخ ہے اور وہ بری جگہ ہے 73

What are Muslim prayers?

Muslim prayers, known as Salah or Salat, are a fundamental part of the Islamic faith. Performed five times daily, they serve as a direct connection between the worshipper and Allah (God). Salah is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is considered both an obligation and a spiritual anchor in a Muslim's daily life.

Muslim Praying

Why do prayer times change?

Each of the five daily prayers is tied to a specific position of the sun, which is why prayer times shift slightly from day to day and vary by location. All prayers are performed facing the Qibla — the direction of the Holy Kaaba in Mecca, the most sacred site in Islam.

Holy Kaaba in Mecca

Are prayers obligatory?

Yes. Every sane, adult Muslim is required to perform five obligatory (Fard) prayers each day:

  • Fajr The pre-dawn prayer, performed before sunrise.
  • Dhuhr The midday prayer, performed after the sun passes its highest point.
  • 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 the difference between Azaan and Iqamah?

The Azaan is the call to prayer that announces the time for a specific prayer and invites Muslims to the mosque. The Iqamah is a shorter call given just before the congregational prayer begins. The timings shown on this page are for Azaan. There is typically a 15–20 minute gap between Azaan and Iqamah, though this can be as short as 5 minutes for Maghrib and up to 25 minutes for Fajr. It is best practice to wrap up your activities and begin preparing for prayer before the Azaan sounds.

What are Rak'ahs in prayer?

A Rak'ah (plural: Rak'at) is a single unit of prayer consisting of a set sequence of standing, bowing, prostrating, and sitting, accompanied by Quranic recitations and supplications. Multiple Rak'ahs make up each prayer.

The number of Fard (obligatory) Rak'ahs in each prayer is: Fajr — 2, Dhuhr — 4, Asr — 4, Maghrib — 3, and Isha — 4. These counts are established by the practice of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Islamic jurisprudence.

How to complete the prayer if I missed Rak'ahs in Jama'at?

For example, if you have missed 3 Rak'ahs of Isha and joined the Imam in the fourth Rak'ah (you must join before or while the Imam is still in Ruku), here is what to do: Form the intention (Niyyah) in your heart, then say Takbeer (Allahu Akbar) to enter the prayer. Stand briefly in Qiyam even if the Imam has already moved on, then follow him. After the Imam gives Salam, stand up without giving Salam yourself. Since you have completed one Rak'ah with the Imam, treat it as your first. Pray your second Rak'ah and sit for Tashahhud. Then stand and pray two more Rak'ahs, and sit for the final Tashahhud and Salam.
