Sing along
Sung by Layan · Layth follows along
- Five prayers every day we make, praying for Allah's sake
- Count to the rakat one by one, pray them till the day is done
- Fajr comes when night is through, two rakat will start a new
- Dhuhr at noon when the sun shines bright, four rakat will keep us right
- Asr comes in after noon, four rakat will be done soon
- Maghrib when the day is done, three rakat for everyone
- Isha when the night is deep, four rakat before we sleep
- Two, four, four, then three, then four
- Pray with love and praise him more
- Five prayers every day we make, pray for Allah's sake
What this song is about
The five prayers and how many rakat each one takes, which is the part children forget. Fajr comes when night is through, two rakat. Dhuhr at noon when the sun shines bright, four. Asr comes in the afternoon, four. Maghrib when the day is done, three. Isha when the night is deep, four before we sleep. Then it counts them straight back — two, four, four, then three, then four — so the pattern lands even before the names do.
Questions parents ask
How many rakat are in each of the five daily prayers?
The song counts them off: Fajr two, Dhuhr four, Asr four, Maghrib three, Isha four. Then it repeats the run on its own — two, four, four, then three, then four — which is the line children end up humming.
When is each prayer?
Fajr when night is through, Dhuhr at noon when the sun shines bright, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib when the day is done, and Isha when the night is deep.
Is there a puzzle for the five daily prayers?
Yes — the Time to Pray word search, using the same five prayer names. Read more →
