Prayer Times

Prayer is a duty for believers at appointed times.

4:103When ye have performed the act of worship, remember Allah, standing, sitting and reclining. And when ye are in safety, observe proper worship. Worship at fixed times hath been enjoined on the believers.

Guard your prayers, especially the middle prayer, and stand before Allah in devotion.

2:238Be guardians of your prayers, and of the midmost prayer, and stand up with devotion to Allah.

In houses Allah has permitted to be raised and where His name is remembered, there, morning and evening

24:36(This lamp is found) in houses which Allah hath allowed to be exalted and that His name shall be remembered therein. Therein do offer praise to Him at morn and evening.

Stay close to those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His pleasure.

18:28Restrain thyself along with those who cry unto their Lord at morn and evening, seeking His Countenance; and let not thine eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance, who followeth his own lust and whose case hath been abandoned.

Establish prayer at both ends of the day and in the early hours of the night. Good deeds erase bad ones, this is a reminder for those who reflect.

11:114Establish worship at the two ends of the day and in some watches of the night. Lo! good deeds annul ill-deeds. This is reminder for the mindful.

Establish prayer at the decline of the sun until the darkness of night, and the dawn recitation, surely, the dawn recitation is witnessed.

17:78Establish worship at the going down of the sun until the dark of night, and (the recital of) the Qur'an at dawn. Lo! (the recital of) the Qur'an at dawn is ever witnessed.

O you who believe, let your servants and those among you who have not yet reached puberty ask permission before entering at three times: before dawn prayer, when you remove your garments at midday, and after the night prayer. These are private times for you. Outside of these, there is no blame for you, and they move about one another freely. Thus, Allah makes His signs clear.

24:58O ye who believe! Let your slaves, and those of you who have not come to puberty, ask leave of you at three times (before they come into your presence): Before the prayer of dawn, and when ye lay aside your raiment for the heat of noon, and after the prayer of night. Three times of privacy for you. It is no sin for them or for you at other times, when some of you go round attendant upon others (if they come into your presence without leave). Thus Allah maketh clear the revelations for you. Allah is Knower, Wise.

And bow before Him during part of the night, and glorify Him through long hours of the night.

76:26And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night.

And rise for prayer during part of the night as an additional devotion for you. Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a praiseworthy station.

17:79And some part of the night awake for it, a largess for thee. It may be that thy Lord will raise thee to a praised estate.
