صلاة
Salah is the most important obligation in Islam after the declaration of faith (shahada). Nabi Muhammad said: 'The first thing a person will be held accountable for on the Day of Judgment is salah.' The five daily shalat are: Fajr (2 rakaat, before sunrise), Dhuhr (4 rakaat, after midday), Asr (4 rakaat, mid-afternoon), Maghrib (3 rakaat, after sunset), and Isha (4 rakaat, nighttime). Prerequisites include: tahaarah (ritual purity), facing the qiblah (direction of the Kabah), covering the awrah, praying within the prescribed time, and making intention. During Haji, salah takes on additional significance — shalat at Masjidil Haram are multiplied 100,000 times in reward according to hadith. Pilgrims traveling for Haji may shorten and combine shalat (qasr and jam'). The unique experience of praying directly facing the physical Kabah is one of the most moving aspects of ibadah haji.
