Free Printable Five Daily Prayers Chart

About these five daily prayers handouts

Muslims pray five times a day: Fajr at dawn, Dhuhr at midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib at sunset and Isha at night. This chart shows the five prayers in order, each with its name in Arabic, a transliteration, an English term, a plain-language line about when it is prayed, and the number of rak'ahs, the units of prayer, in the required prayers.

Above the five cards is a simple diagram of the sun's path across the sky, with each prayer's position marked. The diagram has no pictures of people. The times are set by the position of the sun, so clock times change with the place and the season; the chart gives no times, and a local prayer timetable is the right tool for that. Practice, such as combining some prayers, differs between communities, and the chart notes that.

Use the chart in a Muslim school to teach the order of the day, or in a world religions class to show how prayer shapes the daily routine. Ask students which prayer falls during school hours and how the school makes room for it. Pair the chart with the Five Pillars poster, where salat is the second pillar, and with the Arabic alphabet charts for students learning to read the names.

How to use them

1. Print the chart and place it in the prayer area or the classroom.
2. Read the five names in order, with the Arabic and the English meaning.
3. Trace the sun's path with a finger and say where each prayer falls.
4. Compare the chart with the local prayer timetable for today.
5. Ask students to say which prayers fall at school and which at home.

Classroom tips

• Give students a copy of the local prayer timetable and ask them to find the five times for today.
• Teach the five names in order with a simple chant so the sequence is easy to recall.
• Link the number of rak'ahs to a counting activity for younger students.
• Remind students that prayer times change with the season, so a chart from winter will not fit summer.

Notes on this page

• Times follow the sun, so clock times differ by place and season; no clock times are printed.
• Rak'ah counts are those of the required prayers; practice differs between communities.
