Duaa Al-istiftah(Opening prayer)

 There are two types of prayers: obligatory and supererogatory prayers, In this article, we talk about written or imposed prayer.

Muslims pray five Salawats a day, always facing toward the qibla(Kaaba):

Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, isha.

What's the difference between them?

there are three differences between them:

Prayers	its time	The number of its rak'ahs	Secret or aloud prayer
Fajr	Daybreak	2	Loud
Dhuhr	noon	4	Secret
Asr	afternoon	4	Secret
Maghreb	after sunset	3	Loud
Isha	night	4	Loud

The meaning of a loud prayer: When you recite Al-Fatihah and the surah, you raise your voice. 

The meaning of secret prayer: is to recite the Qur’an without raising your voice.

 Excellence of praying the 'isha' and morning'Al-Fadjr' prayers in congregation:

The virtue of the Isha and Al-Fadjr prayers

• Fajr and Asr prayers have a great virtue because the angels attend to write down the worshipers who came to pray in the mosque.

• Verily, the recitation of the Qur’ân in the early dawn is ever witnessed (attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night).
