Thus, professors may encounter some Muslim students requesting to be excused to pray while other Muslims may not. The five daily prayers include: Fajr sunrise prayer , Dhuhr noon prayer , Asr afternoon prayer , Maghrib sunset prayer , and Isha night prayer.
Each prayer has a specific window of time in which it must be completed. These timings are based upon the sun. For this reason, the timings of each prayer window change marginally and gradually each day and are different at various times of the year.
The end timings of each prayer except for the sunrise prayer is marked by the beginning of the next prayer. Prayers may not be combined or skipped, thus proving to occasionally be a conflict among students with classes or labs that cover this entire prayer window. However, the only two prayers that typically may prove to come in conflict with class scheduling are Asr and Maghrib. Typically it should not take much longer!

Traditionally, prayers are said while standing on a small prayer rug , though using one isn't required.
The prayers are always recited in Arabic while performing a series of ritualized gestures and movements intended to glorify Allah and proclaim devotion called Rak'ha. The Rak'ha is repeated two to four times, depending on the time of day. If worshippers are praying communally, they will conclude prayers with a brief message of peace for one another. Muslims turn first to their right, then to their left, and offer the greeting, "Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah.
In Muslim communities, people are reminded of the salat by the daily calls to prayer, known as adhan. The adhan are delivered from mosques by a muezzin , the mosque's designated caller of prayer.
During the call to prayer, the muezzin recites the Takbir and the Kalimah. Traditionally, the calls were made from the mosque's minaret without amplification, though many modern mosques use loudspeakers so that the faithful can hear the call more clearly.
The prayer times themselves are dictated by the position of the sun:. In ancient times, one merely looked at the sun to determine the various times of day for prayer.
