Salat

Salman rta narrates that Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: Verily a Muslim, when he performs Wudú and performs it excellently, then offers the five times salat, his sins are shed just as these leaves shed. Then He recited:

"And perform Salat at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night (the five mandatory salat); verily good deeds remove evil deeds. This is a reminder (advice) for the mindful (those who accept advice)".

(Quran-Chapter 11 vers 114)

(Musnad Ahmad)

NOTE:

According to some scholars, "two ends" means two parts. The first part stands for Fajr salat, and the second part for Zuhur and Asr salat. Performing salat in some hours of the night stands for Maghrib and Isha salat (night Prayer).

(Tafsir ibne Kathir)

Fajr = Morning Prayer

Zuhur= Forenoon

Asr = Afternoon

Maghrib = Evening

Isha = Night

Isha is the period of time between the late afternoon and going to bed.

May Allah swt forgive me if I wrote wrong the translation of the time of Salat into english. Ameen
