What do the five pillars of Islam require Muslims to do five times a day

1 answer

The five pillars of Islam do not require Muslims to perform any specific activity five times a day. However, one of the pillars, called Salah or prayer, does require Muslims to perform prayers five times a day. These prayers are known as:

1. Fajr: The pre-dawn prayer, performed before sunrise.
2. Dhuhr: The midday prayer, offered after the sun has passed its zenith.
3. Asr: The afternoon prayer, performed in the late afternoon.
4. Maghrib: The evening prayer, offered just after sunset.
5. Isha: The night prayer, performed after the twilight has disappeared.

So, Muslims are required to perform these five daily prayers as part of their religious obligations.
