Islamic prayer times are not just fixed hours; they are like a spiritual clock tied to the Sun's journey! Muslims perform five daily prayers called Salah, each timed perfectly with the Sun’s position. These prayers bring discipline and a strong bond with the Almighty. Let's break down the five key prayers: - Fajr: At dawn, just before sunrise. - Dhuhr: When the sun starts to go down from its highest point. - Asr: The late afternoon prayer. - Maghrib: Right after the sun sets. - Isha: The night prayer, done after twilight fades. Ready for some exciting timings? Here are the prayer times on October 8 (Wednesday) for five big US cities, shared by the Islamic Society of North America: New York: - Fajr: 5:45 AM - Dhuhr: 12:44 PM - Asr: 3:54 PM - Maghrib: 6:26 PM - Isha: 7:41 PM Los Angeles: - Fajr: 5:44 AM - Dhuhr: 12:40 PM - Asr: 3:57 PM - Maghrib: 6:27 PM - Isha: 7:36 PM Chicago: - Fajr: 5:39 AM - Dhuhr: 12:38 PM - Asr: 3:48 PM - Maghrib: 6:20 PM - Isha: 7:36 PM Houston: - Fajr: 6:14 AM - Dhuhr: 1:09 PM - Asr: 4:28 PM - Maghrib: 6:58 PM - Isha: 8:04 PM Phoenix (Arizona): - Fajr: 5:20 AM - Dhuhr: 12:16 PM - Asr: 3:33 PM - Maghrib: 6:03 PM - Isha: 7:11 PM Did you know?
