Salah

Rituals

The named Islamic ritual prayer performed in set cycles facing the qibla. Not dhikr as remembrance chant alone, and not prayer as a generic petition-word.

Also known as Salat · Ṣalāh · Islamic prayer

Islam

  • Salah is used in Islam.

    The Qur’an commands establishment of ṣalāh as timed prayer toward God. Islamic named prayer-rite in that revelation, not prayer as the generic English act already walked and not qibla as the direction alone.
