The '''salat''' is the daily prayer routine required in [[Islam]]. It consists of five separate periods of prayer at these intervals:
*fajr (after dawn but before sunrise)
*zhur (after noon but before the middle of the afternoon)
*asr (after the middle of the afternoon but before sunset)
*maghreb (after sunset but before full darkness)
*isha (after sunset but before sunrise, and preferably before midnight)
