Namaz - The important Pillar of Islam

Namaz (Salat)

Namaz is the practice of ritualistic prayer in Islam. Its importance for Muslims is indicated by its status as one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

Namaz (salat) is preceded by ritual ablution and usually performed five times a day. It consists of the repetition of a unit called a rak?ah consisting of prescribed actions and words. The number of obligatory (fard) raka??t varies from two to four according to the time of day or other circumstances (such as Friday congregational worship, which has two rakats).
