[quote][quote]namaz means prayer[/quote][blue]The brief ritualistic prayer Muslims pray facing the Kaaba in Mecca, five times a day. is called [b]salat or salah[/b] in Arabic.

English translation “prayer” is not usually considered adequate to mean Salah. The prayer has been variously called “the contact prayer”, “the obligatory prayer”, “the formal prayer”, and so on, but normal academic practice is now to refer to the prayer by its Arabic name [b][i]Salāt[/i][/b] even by English speakers.

[b]The conditions of the Prayer are nine:[/b]
 
(1) Islaam;

(2) Sanity;

(3) Reaching the age of Maturity;

(4) Lack of Ritual Impurity (i.e. Ablution);

(5) Removal of Filth;

(6) Covering the 'Awrah;

[u](7) The Entrance of the Proper Time;[/u]

(8) Facing the Qiblah; and

(9) The Intention.[/blue]

[center]The Seventh Condition - The Entrance of the Proper Time[/center]
[blue][b]Dukhool-ul-Waqt (Entrance of the Proper Time):[/b] The proof for this from the Sunnah is the hadeeth of Jibreel, peace be on him, when he lead the Prophet in one prayer during the initial times for it and during the last part of the hour of it, saying to him afterward:[/blue]
&quot;O Muhammad, the prayer is between these two times.&quot;[reported by Ahmad, An-Nasaa'ee, At-Tirmidhee and Ibn Hibbaan.]

[blue]And also Allaah's statement:[/blue]

{Verily, the prayer is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours.} [Surah An-Nisaa: 103]

[blue]The proof that the prayers are in fixed times is Allaah's saying:[/blue]

{Establish the prayer from mid-day till the darkness of the night ([blue]i.e. Dhuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib and 'Ishaa[/blue]), and recite the Qur'aan in the early dawn ([blue]i.e. Fajr[/blue]). Verily, the recitation of the Qur'aan in the early dawn is ever witnessed (by the angels).} [Surah Al-Israa: 78][/quote]
