Zuhr prayer
The Zuhr prayer (Arabic: صَلَاة ٱلظُّهْر, Ṣalāt aẓ-Ẓuhr; IPA: [sˤa.laːt aðˤ.ðˤuhr], "noon prayer"), also transliterated Dhuhr, Duhr or Thuhr, is the second[a] of the five daily obligatory prayers (salah) for practicing Muslims. It contains four units (rakaʿāt) and begins after the Sun reaches its zenith.[1]
On Friday, the Zuhr prayer is replaced or preceded by Friday prayer,[1][2] which is obligatory for Muslim men who are above the age of puberty and meet certain requirements[clarification needed] to pray in congregation either in a mosque or with a group of Muslims.[citation needed]
