Prayer time version. What time are the obligatory prayers? Moscow Historical Mosque - the oldest Islamic institution in the capital

See the current prayer schedule for cities in Russia and other countries per day/month/year

One of the obligatory conditions of Muslim prayer is its timely fulfillment. Any of the five daily prayers, erroneously or intentionally (“advance”) read before the set time for each of them during the day, is considered invalid.

Islam prescribes to strictly adhere to the rule "Each prayer has its own time." Believers can transfer or unite them only in exceptional situations.

It should be borne in mind that there are restrictions on when to pray categorically forbidden:

starting from the moment the sun begins to rise until it breaks away from the horizon (that is, for about half an hour in the morning);

when the heavenly body is at its highest point of the daily trajectory (at the zenith);

throughout the sunset. (The hadiths brought to us by Muslim, al-Bukhari, Ibn Majay and an-Nasai warn about this).

As you can see, the time for performing an act of worship among Muslims is strictly tied to the position of the sun, which means it depends on the geographical latitude and longitude of the area. In addition, the madhhab of the praying person also matters for (asr) - the Hanafis perform it later than the Shafiites and other Muslims (and the difference can be from 30 minutes to an hour or even more, depending on the time of year).

The general rules for calculating prayer times in Islam are as follows:

1. For the morning (or pre-dawn, Sabah, Fajr) prayer - from dawn until the moment the sun begins to rise.

2. For midday (oil, zuhr) - the time after the obstruction point (when the sun passes its zenith) until the shadow of the object becomes larger than itself, and thus the time for the next prayer comes. At the same time, it is customary for the Hanafi to take as a base the double (in relation to the object itself) length of the shadow, and in the rest of the madhhabs - a single one, i.e. shadow of equal length.

3. For the evening (or afternoon, ikende, asr) prayer- from the astronomical end of the midday prayer period until the beginning of sunset. There is a separate calculation formula, according to which the total duration from the moment of obstruction to the moment the celestial body touches the horizon line is divided into seven equal intervals. Muslims take four of them for the time of zuhr, the remaining three - for the asr prayer.

4. For the evening (ahsham, maghrib) prayer- from the disappearance of the sun below the horizon to the onset of darkness, i.e. until the evening dawn is over.

5. For the night (yastu, isha)- from the moment of complete dissipation of the evening dawn and until the appearance of predawn illumination in the eastern part of the sky.

It is often difficult for believers to independently determine the correct prayer time for believers. And there is not always a mosque nearby, from where you can hear the azan, signaling that it is already possible to start praying. In such conditions, special prayer schedules come to the rescue in the form of calendars, special Internet services or mobile applications. The hours and minutes of the end of the morning meal (suhoor) and breaking the fast () for those who fast are usually indicated there.

However, it must always be remembered that any automatic methods for calculating the time of prayers cannot be absolutely accurate. This also applies to the prayer schedule, the link to which we provided at the very beginning of the article. (It provides a detailed schedule for hundreds of Russian cities, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Makhachkala, Ufa, Grozny, Yekaterinburg, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnodar, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, major cities of Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Crimea and other regions ). Therefore, as a precaution, it is better to start praying 5-10 minutes later (and on fasting days it is recommended to stop eating, on the contrary, earlier) of the calculated astronomical time.

Namaz (Salt) is the most beloved worship for Allah. Namaz is prescribed for a person at a certain time. Allah Almighty Subhana wa Ta'ala says in the Qur'an: "When you complete the prayer, then remember Allah standing, sitting or lying on your sides. When you are safe, then perform prayer. Verily, prayer is prescribed for believers at a certain time" (Sura 4 An-Nisa, verse 103).

In a hadith from ‘Abdullah ibn Mas "ud (radiallahu ‘anhu) it says: “Once I asked the Prophet ﷺ: “What deed (of a person) is most dear to Allah Ta’ala.” Rasulullah ﷺ replied: "Namaz." Then, I asked what was the next act, and Rasulullah ﷺ replied: “Kindness to parents.” And I again asked what was next, and the answer was: "Jihad"" . Ali Mulla ‘Kari (rahmatullahi alaihi ‘) says that this hadeeth is a confirmation of the words of scientists that the very first thing after iman (faith) is prayer. It is also narrated from the words of Ibn Masud that the Messenger ﷺ said: “The best deed is a prayer performed at the beginning of the time allotted for it” . These words of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ clearly establish the priority of reading prayer over other matters. Therefore, it is very important that the prayer be performed on time.

Time of the five obligatory prayers

1. Morning prayer time

The time of the morning prayer begins from the moment the dawn appears and lasts until the beginning of sunrise. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "The time of the morning prayer begins at dawn and continues until the sun rises" (Muslim) Another hadeeth says: "Don't let the predawn light fool you, the dawn is on the horizon" (Tirmizi). From this hadith, we understand that the time of the morning prayer begins at dawn, and not from the predawn light. The pre-dawn beam of light rises vertically, after which it becomes dark, and then the true dawn appears, its whiteness spreading on the horizon. And as it says in the hadith "goes on until the sun rises" i.e. as soon as the sunrise begins, the time of the morning prayer stops and the one who did not have time to perform the prayer must make up as missed.

Mustahabb (best) morning prayer times

The best time for the morning prayer is when it becomes light, and so that there is so much time left before sunrise after performing the prayer, so that you can repeat the prayer, according to the Sunnah, in case of an error. Rafi' ibn Khadij (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: "Read Fajr prayer when the dawn is good, because it has great rewards" and also Ibn Maja and Abu Dawud narrated the hadith: “Read the morning prayer when the morning comes, as you should, because because of this you get great rewards”

2. The time of midday prayer (solatul-zuhr - صلاة الظهر)

The time of Zuhr prayer begins after the deviation of the sun from the zenith and lasts until the start of the time of Asr prayer. The time of Asr prayer comes when the shadow of an object becomes twice as large as the object itself, except for the main shadow of the object (since the shadow begins to grow after the zenith of the sun, and the shadow during the zenith is called the main shadow).

‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: “The time of Zuhr prayer is after the zenith of the sun, when the length of a person’s shadow is equal to his height, until the time of ‘Asr prayer” . From this hadith it follows that the time of Zuhr prayer comes after the zenith, but it is not necessary to read it immediately after the zenith, but you have to wait. In another hadith, it is narrated: ‘Abdullah ibn Rafi‘, the slave of the wife of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ Ummi Salama, asked Abu Hurairah (radiallahu ‘anhu) about the time of prayer. Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) replied: "Listen! Recite Zuhr prayer when your shadow is equal to your height, and recite ‘Asr prayer when your shadow is twice your height.” .

Abu Hurairah (radiallahu ‘anhu) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “If these are hot days, then postpone prayer until it is cooler, for verily, intense heat comes from the spread of the breath of hell.” and in another hadee it says: Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said: “The flames of hell complained to their Lord, saying, “Oh Lord, one part of me has swallowed up the other,” and He allowed the flame to take two breaths in winter and summer, which is why it is at this time that you feel the most intense heat and the most intense cold. From these hadiths it becomes clear that on hot days it is better to wait until it gets cooler, but the Zuhr prayer must be performed before the time of ʻAsr.

Mustahabb (best) noon prayer times

Zuhr prayer is better to delay in summer, and read earlier in winter. As already mentioned hadith about zuhr prayer: “If it is very hot, then pray in a cool time” The following hadith confirms that in winter it is necessary to read zuhr prayer earlier. Anas (radiallahu ‘anhu) reports that "Rasulullah ﷺ in the summer he read zuhr prayer in a cool time, and earlier in the winter"

3. The time of the afternoon prayer (solatul-ʻasr - صلاة العصر)

The time of Asr prayer begins after the end of the Zuhr time and continues until the beginning of sunset. During sunset, you cannot perform prayer, but however, if you managed to perform at least one rak'ah of prayer ʻAsr, then you need to complete the prayer to the end. It is narrated in a hadeeth from Abu Hurairah (radiallahu ‘anhu): that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever managed to perform at least one rak'at ‘asr prayer before sunset, he managed to perform ‘asr prayer"

Mustahabb (best) afternoon prayer time

It is mustahabb to delay ‘Asr prayer, but it is not permissible to delay so much that the sun is close to sunset. Anas (radiallahu ‘anhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "This is the prayer of a munafiq (hypocrite), if a person sits and waits for the sun to turn yellow and close to sunset, then he gets up and quickly pecks four times. And he does not remember Allah in his prayer, or remembers very little" .

4. Evening prayer time

Maghrib prayer begins immediately after sunset and lasts until the sunset of Shafak abyad. Shafaka abyad is the disappearance of redness and whiteness remains in the sky (white shafaq). Ibn Umar says in a hadith: "Maghrib prayer time lasts until the shafak disappears" and in another hadeeth ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (radiallahu ‘anhu) says that: "Rasulullah ﷺ read maghrib prayer when the sun was setting, and he read ‘isha (night) when darkness spread on the horizon, and sometimes postponed until people gathered" .

Mustahabb (the best) time of prayer

Maghrib prayer should be read immediately after sunset, without delay. Abu Ayub Ansari (radiallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: “My community will always be in blessings, (or said: “it will be in the state inherent in them from birth that (is in Islam)”) as long as they do not postpone Maghrib prayer until the stars appear”

5. The time of the night prayer

The time of ‘isha prayer begins after the end of the Maghrib time. And there is no doubt that the darkness on the horizon appears only after the whiteness disappears. Since after the red dawn, shafak abyad appears, i.e. whiteness on the horizon, and after that darkness sets in and lasts until dawn.

In the hadith about the “Imamate of Jibrail (‘aleihis salam)” it is said: “I read ‘isha with Jibrail (‘alayhis salam) when the shafak disappeared”.

Nafi‘ ibn Jubayr (rahmatullahi ‘alaihi) relates that ‘Umar (radiallahu ‘anhu) wrote a letter to Abu Musa Ash‘ari (radiallahu ‘anhu): "Recite ‘isha in any part of the night you wish, and do not neglect it".

‘Ubeyd ibn Jarih (radiallahu ‘anhu) asked Abu Hurairah (radiallahu ‘anhu): "What is the last time of 'isha prayer?. He replied: "Dawn comes.".

Mustahabb (best) night prayer time

Postponing ‘isha prayer until midnight or until the first third of the night is better. Abu Hurairah (radiyallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: “If this was not painful for my community, I would definitely order them to postpone ‘isha prayer until half or until the first third of the night.”

But if, due to the postponement of prayer, there is a danger that many people will not participate in the jama‘at, because of which the jama‘at will become small, then there is no need to delay until that time. When the time comes for ‘isha prayer, it should be read when more people can participate in it.
Jabir (radiallahu ‘anhu) talks about the habit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding ‘ish prayer: "A'isha prayer he began at different times, because when he saw that people had already gathered, he started it early, and when he saw that people were slow, he delayed him (so that more people participated in the prayer)" . From this it follows that the number of people must be taken into account. Namaz jama‘at should be read at a time in which there is a possibility of participation of more people. And there is no need to set a time for prayer in which there is a fear that many people will not participate in it, because the reward for prayer depends on the number of people in the jama‘at.

Time of Witr Wajib Prayer

Witr prayer is recited immediately after ‘isha prayer. About the witr prayer of Kharija ibn Hudhayfa says: "Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) came to us and said:" Allah Ta'ala ordered you to read a prayer that is better than red camels - this is witr prayer, and made it for you between 'isha and dawn "

Mustahabb (best) Witr prayer times

A person who is sure that he will wake up before dawn, then it is best not to read Witr prayer immediately after ‘ish, but he should wake up before dawn and read Witr. In a hadith from Jabir (radiallahu ‘anhu) it is said that Rasulullah ﷺ said: "Whoever is afraid that he will not wake up in the last part of the night, he should read Witr prayer at the beginning of the night, and whoever hopes that he will get up at the end of the night, he should read Witr at the end of the night, because in the prayer, which is read at the end of the night, angels are involved. And that's better."

However, a person who is afraid that he will not wake up before dawn, it is necessary to read Witr prayer along with the ‘isha prayer, as it becomes known from the hadith itself. And “the beginning of the night” does not mean before the prayer ‘isha. This means after 'ish, since the time of witr prayer begins after 'ish, as was given in the hadith about the time of witr prayer.

Friday prayer times

Friday prayer (Juma prayer) is performed every Friday during the midday prayer in mosques (Juma prayer replaces the midday prayer "zuhr"). Friday prayer is one of the obligatory prayers (fard) along with five daily and funeral prayers. But unlike 5 fard prayers, Friday prayer is not a duty for all Muslims.

Friday prayer or Friday prayer is a mandatory action for every adult Muslim (male). The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that the collective performance of Friday prayers in the mosque is obligatory for those who believe in Allah and the Day of Judgment. The exceptions are women, slaves, children and the sick. It is allowed not to visit the mosque on Friday during natural disasters and bad weather: severe frosts, heavy rain, hail.

Five obligatory Muslim prayers: fajr, zuhr, asr, maghrib And isha. The prescribed prayer times are determined by the position of the sun. Therefore, prayer times vary from day to day and depend on the location on the surface of the Earth. To correctly determine the time of prayer, you need to know the coordinates and the current date.

Fajr- morning prayer at dawn. Fajr begins with the appearance of a streak of light on the horizon and ends with sunrise.

Sunrise- the time of the appearance of the first sunbeam above the horizon.

Zuhr- noon prayer. Zuhr begins shortly after the sun reaches its highest point (zenith) and ends with the start of Asr.

Asr- Afternoon prayer. The start time of the Asr prayer is defined differently in different legal schools. Two options:

When the length of an object's shadow becomes equal to its height.
When the object's shadow length becomes twice the object's height.

Asr ends at sunset.

Sunset The time when the sun drops below the horizon.

Maghreb- evening prayer after sunset. Maghrib begins after the sun drops below the horizon and ends with the beginning of the Isha prayer.

Isha- night prayer after the evening dawn. Isha begins when the sky becomes dark and there is no scattered sunlight.

Fajr morning prayer times and Isha prayer times at night are based on the time of astronomical twilight. During astronomical twilight the sun is 12 to 18 degrees below the horizon. After the end of the evening and before the beginning of the morning astronomical twilight, the sun is more than 18 degrees below the horizon and the sky is completely dark.
Different Islamic organizations use different angles from 15 to 19.5 degrees to determine the times for Fajr and Isha prayers.

At high latitudes in the region of the Arctic Circle and to the north of it, as well as in the region of the Antarctic Circle and to the south of it, at certain times of the year the sun does not fall below the horizon at all or sinks only slightly below the horizon. As a result, the sky during this period of the year is never completely dark. There are various methods for determining Fajr and Isha prayer times for high latitudes:

Nearest latitude method. Latitude 48° is used to determine the intervals between Fajr prayer and sunrise, as well as between sunset and Isha prayer.
next day method. The closest day to the current day is used, for which it is possible to calculate the times of Fajr and Isha prayers by the standard method for given coordinates.
The middle of the night method. The moment of time is calculated, lying in the middle between sunset and sunrise. The time for Isha prayer is considered to be a time shortly before the middle of the night, and the time for Fajr prayer is considered to be a time shortly after the middle of the night.
Method of one seventh night. The time between sunset and sunrise is divided into seven equal intervals. The time for Isha prayer is after the first interval. The time for Fajr prayer is after the sixth interval.

A detailed explanation of the rules for calculating prayer times can be found in the article The Determination of Salaat Times by Dr. Monsoor Ahmed.

To calculate the prayer times, we use programs based on the Pray Times project of Hamid Zarrabi-Zadeh.

When calculating prayer times for high latitudes, the midnight method is used.

For each city, we choose a point inside the city as the "center of the city" and use the coordinates of this "center" to calculate the prayer times. Prayer times for other locations within or near this city will vary slightly from those shown above.

All information on this page is provided for reference purposes only. Users are advised to consult their local mosque to select the method of calculation and prayer schedule that is acceptable to them.

Religious reading: what time do Muslims pray to help our readers.

check prayer times

In section Religion, Faith to the question, Muslims pray 5 times a day, but how long does prayer take in general? and how long each prayer lasts in time set by the author rawt vomt the best answer is In general, all 5 prayers take about 30-45 minutes. Depends on reading speed. If you add ablution to them, then in total it will be about 1 hour. And if in parts then ... Morning prayer (FAJR): 4-6 min. Lunch prayer (ZUHR): 10-14 min. Evening Prayer (ASP): 4-5 min. Evening prayer (MAGRIB): 5-7 min. Night prayer (ISHA): 10-12 min.

you can do it in 5 minutes.

If a person prays quickly, then it takes him about 4 minutes. And in the end it turns out 20 minutes a day.

5 times a day, probably only the elderly pray, I have never seen the young in 10 years.

Everyone is different, depending on the manner of reading and physique. in general, from 25 minutes to 2 hours, when I just started, it took me about 2 hours in general, and after a couple of years it already fit into 25-30 minutes. Usually more time is spent preparing for

Morning prayer - fajr: how many rak'ahs, time. Prayer in Islam

One of the five pillars of Islam is namaz, a prayer through which a person conducts a dialogue with the Almighty. By reading it, a Muslim pays tribute to devotion to Allah. Prayer is obligatory for all believers. Without it, a person loses contact with God, commits a sin, for which, according to the canons of Islam, he will be severely punished on the Day of Judgment.

It is necessary to read prayer five times a day at a strictly set time for him. Wherever a person is, no matter what he is busy with, he must perform a prayer. The morning prayer is especially important. Fajr, as it is also called by Muslims, has great power. Its fulfillment is equivalent to a prayer that a person would read all night.

What time is the morning prayer?

Fajr prayer should be performed early in the morning, when a white stripe appears on the horizon, and the sun has not yet risen. It is during this period of time that devout Muslims pray to Allah. It is desirable that a person begins a sacred action 20-30 minutes before sunrise. In Muslim countries, people can navigate by adhan coming from the mosque. It is more difficult for a person living in other places. How do you know when to perform Fajr prayer? The time of its completion can be determined by a special calendar or schedule, which is called ruznama.

Some Muslims use mobile applications for this purpose, such as Prayer Times ® Muslim Toolbox. It will help you know when to start praying and will determine the qibla, the direction in which the sacred Kaaba is located.

Beyond the Arctic Circle, where day and night last longer than usual, it is more difficult for people to decide on the time at which prayer should be performed. Fajr, however, must be performed. Muslims recommend focusing on the time in Mecca or in a nearby country, where the change of day and night occurs in the usual rhythm. The last option is preferred.

What is the power of Fajr prayer?

People who regularly pray to Allah before sunrise show deep patience and true faith. After all, for the sake of performing Fajr, it is necessary to rise before dawn every day, and not sleep in a sweet dream, succumbing to the persuasion of the shaitan. This is the first test that the morning has prepared for a person, and it must be passed with dignity.

People who do not succumb to shaitan, who read prayers on time, the Almighty will protect from adversity and problems until the next day. In addition, they will succeed in eternal life, because the observance of prayer will be credited to everyone on the Day of Judgment.

This prayer in Islam has great power, because on the eve of dawn, next to a person are the angels of the departing night and the coming day, who are carefully watching him. Allah will then ask them what his servant did. The angels of the night will answer that, when leaving, they saw him praying, and the angels of the coming day will say that they also found him praying.

Stories of the Sahaba who performed the morning prayer against all odds

Fajr requires strict observance, no matter what the circumstances are in a person's life. In those distant times, when the Prophet Muhammad was still alive, people performed real feats in the name of faith. They performed namaz in spite of everything.

Sahaba, companions of the Messenger of the Almighty, performed the morning fajr even when they were injured. No misfortune could stop them. So, the outstanding statesman Umar ibn al-Khattab read a prayer, bleeding after an attempt on his life. He did not even think of refusing to serve Allah.

And the companion of the Prophet Muhammad Abbad was struck by an arrow at the moment of the prayer. He pulled her out of his body and continued to pray. The enemy shot at him several more times, but this did not stop Abbad.

Sada ibn Rabi, who was also seriously wounded, died while praying in a tent specially built for the sacred action.

Preparation for prayer: ablution

Prayer in Islam requires some preparation. Before transgressing to any prayer, whether it be Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib or Isha, a Muslim is required to perform a ritual ablution. In Islam, it is called voodoo.

A true Muslim washes his hands (hands), face, rinses his mouth and nose. He performs each action three times. Next, the believer washes each hand up to the elbow with water: first the right, then the left. After that, he rubs his head. With a wet hand, a Muslim runs it from the forehead to the back of the head. He then rubs his ears inside and out. After washing his feet up to the ankles, the believer should complete the ablution with the words of remembrance of Allah.

During prayer, Islam requires men to cover the body without fail from the navel to the knees. The rules for women are stricter. It must be completely covered. The only exceptions are the face and hands. Never wear tight or dirty clothes. The body of a person, his vestments and the place of prayer must be clean. If wudu is not enough, you need to perform a full body ablution (ghusl).

Fajr: rak'ahs and terms

Each of the five prayers consists of rak'ahs. This is the name of one cycle of prayer, which is repeated from two to four times. The number depends on what kind of prayer the Muslim performs. Each rakah includes a certain sequence of actions. Depending on the type of prayer, it may vary slightly.

Consider what fajr consists of, how many rak'ahs a believer should perform and how to perform them correctly. Morning prayer consists of only two consecutive cycles of prayer.

Some of the actions included in them have specific names that came to us from the Arabic language. Below is a list of the most important concepts that a believer should know:

niyat - the intention to perform prayer;
takbir - the exaltation of Allah (the words "Allahu Akbar", meaning "Allah is Great");
qiyam - staying in a standing position;
sajda - kneeling posture or prostration;
dua - prayer;
taslim - greeting, the final part of the prayer.

Now consider both cycles of Fajr prayer. How to read a prayer, people who have only recently converted to Islam will ask? In addition to following the sequence of actions, it is necessary to monitor the pronunciation of words. Of course, a true Muslim not only pronounces them correctly, but also puts his soul into them.

First rak'ah of Fajr prayer

The first cycle of prayer begins with niyat in the qiyam position. The believer expresses the intention mentally, mentioning the name of the prayer in it.

Then the Muslim should raise his hands at the level of the ears, touch the earlobes with his thumbs and point his palms towards the qibla. While in this position, he must say the takbir. It must be spoken aloud, and it is not necessary to do it in full voice. In Islam, Allah can be glorified in a whisper, but in such a way that the believer hears himself.

Then he covers his left hand with the palm of his right hand, clasping his wrist with his little finger and thumb, lowers his hands slightly below the navel and reads the first surah of the Koran, Al-Fatiha. If desired, a Muslim can speak an additional chapter from the Holy Scriptures.

This is followed by a bow, straightening and sajda. Further, the Muslim unbends his back, remaining in a kneeling position, once again falls on his face before Allah and straightens up again. This completes the performance of the rak'ah.

Second rak'ah of Fajr prayer

The cycles included in the morning prayer (fajr) are performed in different ways. In the second rak'ah, you do not need to pronounce the niyat. The Muslim stands in the qiyam position, folding his hands on his chest, as in the first cycle, and begins to pronounce the surah Al-Fatiha.

Then he makes two earthly bows and sits on his feet, shifted to the right side. In this position, you need to pronounce the dua "At-tahiyat".

At the end of the prayer, the Muslim pronounces the taslim. He pronounces it twice, turning his head first towards the right shoulder, then the left.

This ends the prayer. Fajr is performed by both men and women. However, they perform it differently.

How do women perform morning prayers?

When performing the first rak'ah, the woman should keep her hands at shoulder level, while the man raises them to the ears.

She bows at the waist not as deep as a man, and while reading the surah Al-Fatiha, she folds her hands on her chest, and not below the navel.

The rules for performing the Fajr prayer for women are slightly different from those for men. In addition to them, a Muslim woman should know that it is forbidden to perform it during menstruation (hayd) or postpartum bleeding (nifas). Only after being cleansed of filth, she will be able to perform prayer correctly, otherwise the woman will become a sinner.

What should a person do if he misses the morning prayer?

It is worth touching on another important issue. What should a Muslim who missed the morning prayer do? In such a situation, one should consider the reason why he made such a mistake. From whether it is respectful or not, the further actions of a person depend. For example, if a Muslim set an alarm clock, specially went to bed early, but in spite of all his actions overslept, he can fulfill his duty to the Almighty at any free time, since, in fact, he is not to blame.

However, if the reason was disrespectful, then the rules are different. Fajr prayer should be performed as quickly as possible, but not during those time periods when prayer is strictly forbidden to be performed.

When is prayer not allowed?

There are several such intervals in a day, during which it is extremely undesirable to pray. These include periods

after reading the morning prayer and before sunrise;
within 15 minutes after dawn, until the luminary rises in the sky to the height of one spear;
when it is at its zenith;
after reading Asra (afternoon prayer) until sunset.

At any other time, you can refund the prayer, but it is better not to neglect the sacred act, because the pre-dawn prayer read on time, into which a person put his heart and soul, as the prophet Muhammad said, is better than the whole world, more significant than everything that fills it. A Muslim who performs Fajr at sunrise will not go to hell, but will be awarded the great rewards that Allah will bestow on him.

With the help of which a person conducts a dialogue with the Almighty. By reading it, a Muslim pays tribute to devotion to Allah. Prayer is obligatory for all believers. Without it, a person loses contact with God, commits a sin, for which, according to the canons of Islam, he will be severely punished on the Day of Judgment.

It is necessary to read prayer five times a day at a strictly set time for him. Wherever a person is, no matter what he is busy with, he must perform a prayer. Fajr, as it is also called by Muslims, is especially important, it has great power. Its fulfillment is equivalent to a prayer that a person would read all night.
