Muslims worship/ perform Namaz to please Almighty Allah. Namaz is referred to as Salat or Salah in Arabic. Performing Salah means communicating with the Lord. Additionally, it protects a person from committing sins or other undesirable behaviors. In a hadith, our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) said,
“Salat is the key to heaven.”
Allah Almighty has bestowed Muslims with five times daily prayers. Muslims should offer Salah regularly to connect with Allah and to protect themselves from the misguidance of Shaitan (Satan). Muslims must pray five times daily, or else they will be punished on the Day of Judgment.
Every Salat contains a series of movements known as Rakats. Each Salat has different rakats, whether performed at home or in a mosque. We have covered all five obligatory prayers and their Rakats on this page. So let’s get started with the Namaz Names, Rakats.
