Muslim prayer Times:
Muslim prayer times – Prayer is the connection between ALLAH (SWT) and his servant. Muslims perform five times prayers a day as it is an obligation. They are in a direct contact with ALLAH without the need of any intermediary at Muslim prayer times.
When the prayer was made compulsory?
