In all the Muslim communities, individuals are reminded of their daily prayer calls referred to as adhan. The muezzin is the designated caller of prayers and is usually based in mosques. During the call to supplicate, the muezzin will recite the Kalimah and Takbir. During old times, these calls were done without amplification though currently loudspeakers are used for the faithful to hear the call clearly.
The sun’s position usually dictates different prayer times. Prayer time in Dubai, just like all over the world, happens five times in a day. Muslims pray facing one direction, in the direction of Mecca. Below are the five different prayers made every single day by Muslims in Dubai:
- Fajr: It is a prayer done before the sun rises as the day starts and is about remembering God.
- Dhuhr: Once the day has begun, one will break shortly after midday to seek God’s guidance and remember Him.
- 'Asr: Late in the afternoon, people should spare a few minutes and worship their Creator.
- Maghrib: Just after the sun has set, Muslims remember Allah as the day comes to an end.
- 'Isha: Before Muslims retire for the night, they spare some time to remember the forgiveness, mercy, presence, and guidance of Allah.
