The Second of Pillar Faith: Salat
Perhaps
the most well-known practice among non-Muslims is ritual prayer, or
Salat, which is performed 5 times a day: at dawn, midday, afternoon,
sunset, and evening.
- Muslims prayer 5 times a da, wherever they are
- They always face the direction of the Ka'ba in Mecca
- A qibla is used to determine the correct direction
- A prayer mat is used so that a person does not have to kneel directly on the floor
- Before prayer, Muslims perform ritual washings of the hands, arms, face, and feet
- A muezzin makes the call to prayer
- The imams are prayer leaders
