Prepare for prayer

Ensure purification is complete, the prayer time has entered, and you are facing the qiblah.

Prayer must meet its conditions before it begins.
The five daily prayers are the obligatory daily prayers: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.
Purification for prayer is not optional. It is part of taking salah seriously.

Necessary and emphasised next steps

Once the obligatory prayer structure is becoming steady, many Muslims learn these next with care.
