Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on understanding the times for daily prayers (Waktu-Waktu Sholat) according to Islamic teachings, as discussed in the video "SAFINAH AL-NAJAH" by Kadam Sidik. Knowing the prayer times is essential for practicing Muslims to ensure their prayers are performed at the correct times throughout the day.

Step 1: Understanding the Importance of Prayer Times

• Recognize that prayer times are determined by the position of the sun.
• There are five daily prayers in Islam, each with a specific time:
  • Fajr (dawn)
  • Dhuhr (midday)
  • Asr (afternoon)
  • Maghrib (evening)
  • Isha (night)

Step 2: Fajr Prayer Time

• Timeframe: Begins at dawn and ends just before sunrise.
• Tip: Fajr is the first prayer of the day and its timing varies based on geographical location and season.

Step 3: Dhuhr Prayer Time

• Timeframe: Starts when the sun has passed its zenith (the highest point in the sky) and lasts until the shadow of an object is equal to its length.
• Tip: This prayer is ideally performed when the sun begins to decline from its peak.

Step 4: Asr Prayer Time

• Timeframe: Divided into two opinions:
  • Starts when the shadow of an object is equal to its length (Hanafi school).
  • Starts when the shadow is half its length (other schools).
• Tip: Be mindful of local timings and adjust your schedule accordingly.

Step 5: Maghrib Prayer Time

• Timeframe: Begins immediately after sunset and lasts until the red twilight disappears.
• Tip: This prayer is often accompanied by breaking the fast during Ramadan.

Step 6: Isha Prayer Time

• Timeframe: Starts when the red twilight has completely vanished and lasts until midnight (or the middle of the night according to some scholars).
• Tip: It is recommended to perform this prayer before sleeping.

Conclusion

Understanding the times for daily prayers is crucial for Islamic practice. Each prayer has specific timings that correspond to the sun's position in the sky. To ensure you are performing your prayers correctly:

• Use local prayer time apps or websites.
• Adjust your schedule based on seasonal changes.
• Regularly check for updates in prayer times, especially during Ramadan.

By following these guidelines, you can enhance your prayer experience and maintain consistency in your daily worship.
