Why do Muslims perform prayers five times a day?

We ask Allah the All-Hearing, All-Seeing and All-Knowing to remove any obstacles and facilitate us in achieving these goals, for He is the Almighty and the only one capable of doing so. Ameen Ameen Ameen!

Prayer is a pillar of Islam

Prayer is one of the five pillars of Islam and is an important part of a Muslim's daily life. The prayer is performed five times a day and is a moment of worship and connection with God.

The five prayers are Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr is performed before sunrise, Dhuhr around noon, Asr in the late afternoon, Maghrib after sunset and Isha sleep time. Each prayer consists of a number of rakat (parts of prayer) and is preceded by a cleansing of the body and mind. The prayer is often performed in a mosque, but can also be performed at home or in another place.

Prayer has a number of spiritual and practical benefits for Muslims. It helps them focus on God and strengthen their faith. It also serves as a moment of gratitude and reconciliation. It helps them to organize their thoughts and reflect on their actions and behavior. The prayer also helps to create a sense of community and solidarity, as Muslims all over the world pray at the same time.

Performing prayer five times a day is also a way to develop discipline and responsibility. It requires regularity and dedication, and helps Muslims use their time efficiently and better manage their daily tasks and responsibilities.

The Qur'an also emphasizes that prayer is one of the ways in which Muslims can seek forgiveness for their sins and be in a position of reconciliation with God. It is a way to demonstrate humility and submission to God and to apologize for any mistakes that have been made.

In general, prayer is an important part of a Muslim's daily life and helps them to strengthen their connection with God and promote their spiritual growth. It also helps them to develop discipline and responsibility and to live their lives in accordance with the values and principles of Islam.

Islam, Quran and Arabic lessons

Students and parents at our online Islamic education are unanimously enthusiastic about their experiences and demo lessons with Tawfiq.nl and Zoom. Some reactions from parents who have had their children take demo lessons:

 “Very nice way of conveying Islamic knowledge to children and parents.”  

“My family situation and planning fit perfectly with your organization! Finally Islamic lessons for our children!”  

“A soothing feeling that you do not belong to an institution or mosque. This way the focus is purely on the Islamic lessons.”  

“It's about time that Islamic lessons for children and parents can be followed at home. It feels a lot safer at home.”  

“Saves a lot of travel time, gas money and organization to an Islamic educational institution or mosque! Great solution for our children!”  

“I have been saying this for years that it should be possible for children to take lessons from home. I am happy that as an organization you are moving with the times.”

We are not a commercial institution but are a self-organization that does not use or request government subsidies. We are a foundation that, when necessary, raises collections and asks for financial support and donations from its community. Our foundation will also organize benefits when the need is dire or progressive to safeguard the Islamic identity of Dutch Muslims. Our foundation also works as much as possible with its own working capacity, are free, independent and unbound and rely only on Allah as the Only Provider.
