Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">Almighty Allah says:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\"><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.qurantranslations.net\/sheikh-mishari-bin-rashid-ibrahim-walk-saheeh-intl\/?file=4#player\">An-Nisa&#8217;<\/a> 4: 103)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">`Abdullah ibn `Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: &#8220;The time of the noon prayer is when the sun passes the meridian and a man&#8217;s shadow is the same (length) as his height, (and it lasts) as long as the time for the afternoon prayer has not come; the time for the afternoon prayer is as long as the sun has not become pale; the time of the evening prayer is as long as the twilight has not ended; the time of the night prayer is up to the middle of the average night and the time of the morning prayer is from the appearance of dawn, as long as the sun has not risen; but when the sun rises, refrain from prayer for it rises between the horns of the devil.&#8221; (Muslim)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">\u00a0The best time for any prayer is the beginning of its time, based on the <em>hadith<\/em> of the Prophet (peace be upon him), &#8220;The best of deeds in the sight of Allah is offering prayer on its time&#8221;. (Al-Bukhari)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">Each prayer has a beginning and end time. For example, the beginning time of the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer is dawn and the end time is when the sun rises.
