Step-by-Step Guide to the Quranic Salat.
In the Quran, Allah instructs believers to perform three daily prayers, known as Salat, to Remember Allah and protect us from evil. These Salat-Prayers are called Salat Al-Fajr, Al-Wusta and Al-‘Isha (Dawn, Middle & Late-Evening Prayer) and their names are found in 24:58 (Fajr & ‘Isha) and 2:238 (Wusta). Their timeframes are in 11:114 (Fajr & ‘Isha) & 17:78 (Wusta).
We must do our ablution/wudu before every prayer in 5:6 & 4:43 and direct our faces toward the Qiblah/Direction of Salat-Prayer (2:143-150/10:87). And during Salat-Prayer, one must have a middle tone and not silent therein 17:110.
