In Arabic, you have your basic vocabulary words for morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and night. Yet, people in Arabic speaking countries tend to use a few more. In Islam, there are five prayer times in a day. Each prayer has a name according to the time of day it is prayed. For Muslims who pray, their daily schedules revolve around these prayer times which in turn can influence everyone else\u2019s schedules. Therefore, you\u2019ll find that referring to the times of these five prayers in the Arab world is the norm.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s first review the basic ones:<\/p>\n

morning: \u0635\u064e\u0628\u0627\u062d<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>noon: \u0638\u0651\u064f\u0647\u0652\u0631<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a0afternoon: \u0628\u064e\u0639\u0652\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0638\u0651\u064f\u0647\u0652\u0631\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong>evening: \u0645\u064e\u0633\u0627\u0621<\/strong> \u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a0night: \u0644\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0644<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are the five prayers and the times of day they are prayed. The word for prayer in Arabic is \u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629<\/strong> therefore, each name has the word \u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629<\/strong> with the time of day after it. But, when we\u2019re just referring to the time of day, we can take out the word \u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Salat al-fajr: \u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u062c\u0631<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>(dawn, before sunrise) \u0641\u064e\u062c\u0652\u0631<\/strong><\/p>\n

Salat al-maghrib: \u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u063a\u0631\u0628 \u00a0<\/strong>just after sunset) \u0645\u064e\u063a\u0631\u0650\u0628<\/strong><\/p>\n

Salat al-‘isha: \u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0634\u0627\u0621 \u00a0<\/strong>between sunset and midnight) \u0639\u0650\u0634\u064e\u0627\u0621\u0650<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes, you don\u2019t know the exact time you\u2019ll be able to visit someone or finish something, so using these words can give you a bit of leeway. For example,<\/p>\n
