The daily prayers that are one of the Five
Pillars of Islam. Muslims are required to
pray five times a day, the first prayer being
before dawn and the last after dusk. Prayer
must be preceded by ritual washing and may be
said in any clean place, facing the direction
of Mecca. The prayers, which are recited in
Arabic, follow a fixed series of words and
movements.
