The Asr prayer is the afternoon daily prayer recited by practising
Muslims. It is the third of the five daily prayers (
salat). The five daily prayers collectively are one pillar of the
Five Pillars of Islam, in
Sunni Islam, and one of the ten
Practices of the Religion (Furū al-Dīn) according to
Shia Islam. The Asr prayer is a 4
rak'ah daily prayer and is prayed (barely) silently. When travelling, according to some
madhhabs, it may be reduced to two
rak'ahs. The Asr daily prayer is mentioned by name in the
Qur'an at 2:238. And also the name of a short
sura (surat
al-Asr) in the Qur'an. This raises the Asr daily prayer to a preciously higher rank for practicing Muslims in particular when it falls on Fridays.
