Salah (Arabic: ٱلصَّلَاةُ, romanized: as-Ṣalāh), is the principal form of worship in Islam. Facing Mecca, it consists of units called rak'a (specific set of movements), during which the Quran is recited, and prayers from the Sunnah are typically said. The number of rak'a varies from prayer to prayer. Minor details of performing salah may differ according to the madhhab (school of Islamic jurisprudence) of the person performing it.

Salah may refer to the form of worship in general, or specifically to the five daily obligatory prayers performed by Muslims. The obligatory prayers play an integral part in the Islamic faith, being the second of the Five Pillars of Islam for Sunnis, and one of the Ancillaries of the Faith for Shiites. In addition, supererogatory salah may be performed by Muslims at any time with a few exceptions, or at specific times in accordance with the Sunnah.

Ritual purity and Wudu are prerequisites for performing salah. Muslims may perform salah alone or in congregation. Some of these prayers are special and are exclusively performed in congregation, such as the Friday salah and Eid prayers, both are performed with a khutbah (sermon). Some concessions are made for Muslims who are physically unable to perform the salah in its original form, or are travelling.
