The Islamic Prayers are a form of worship which establishes the link between man and his creator whom we call Allah in Arabic. Through Prayer a person communes with his lord, the creator and sustainer of the universe.
At least five times a day Islamic all over the world face the direction of the first house built for the worship of the one Allah and pray the five daily Islamic prayers enjoined on every sane adult Islamic male and female. This house is called kabah. It is located in the holy city of Makkah in present day Saudi Arabia. We do not worship the kabah. We simply worship god while facing the kabah.
Islamic five daily prayers become obligatory from the moment a person embraces Islam. This is an extremely important tenet of Islam and has been enjoined with great emphasis both in the holy Quran and the sayings of Prophet Muhammad. According to one saying of Prophets, the prayer is the borderline between a Islamic and non-believer.
Before the starting the prayer, a Person must perform Wudu (ablution)
Ghusl: Washing both the hands up to the wrists. Wash the private parts and remove dirt or filth from the body. Perform wudu. Water should be poured over the head three times so that it flows all over the body. Pour water on the right shoulder three times.
