Maghrib

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Maghrib prayer, prayed just after sunset, is the fourth of five formal daily prayers performed by practicing Muslims. The formal daily prayers of Islam comprise different numbers of units, called rak'at. The Maghrib prayer has three obligatory rak'at. The first two fard rak'at are prayed aloud, and the third is prayed silently. In Sunni Islam, two further sunnah rak'at following the fard rak'at are highly recommended. To be considered valid salat, the formal daily prayers must each be performed within their own prescribed time period. People with a legitimate reason have a longer period in which their prayers will be valid. The period within which to offer valid Maghrib prayers is the shortest of the five periods of the day
