How to Pray Dhuhr: Beginner Overview
Dhuhr takes place after the sun passes its highest point and before Asr begins. Exact times vary by date and location.
Learn the prayer structure
The four obligatory rakahs follow the familiar Salah sequence of standing, recitation, bowing and prostration. A complete lesson also teaches the sitting portions and recitations.
A practical first step
Check a reliable local prayer timetable, learn the sequence with a qualified demonstration, and distinguish the four obligatory rakahs from additional Sunnah prayers.
Sources and scope
Quran 4:103 establishes prayer at appointed times. The number of obligatory rakahs and the detailed method are learned from the Sunnah.
