Shia Muslims do not pray only three times a day. They, like Sunni Muslims, pray five times a day. The five daily prayers are:
- Fajr: Dawn prayer
- Dhuhr: Noon prayer
- Asr: Afternoon prayer
- Maghrib: Sunset prayer
- Isha: Night prayer
The five daily prayers are a fundamental pillar of Islam, and Shias, like Sunnis, believe that they are a direct command from God. These prayers are considered to be a way of connecting with God, expressing gratitude, and seeking forgiveness.
The specific times for each prayer are determined by the position of the sun, and they vary depending on the time of year and location.
