The Zuhr prayer (Arabic: صَلَاةُ ٱلظُّهْر, romanized: ṣalāt aẓ-ẓuhr, lit. 'noon prayer') is one of the five daily mandatory Islamic prayers (salah). It is observed after Fajr and before Asr prayers, between the zenith of noon and sunset, and contains four cycles (rakah).[1]
On Friday, the Zuhr prayer is replaced or preceded by Friday prayer which is obligatory for Muslim men who are above the age of puberty and meet certain requirements[2] to pray in congregation either in a mosque or with a group of Muslims.[citation needed]
The khutbah (sermon) is delivered by the imam.
It is also transliterated Dhuhr, Duhr, Thuhr or Luhar.
The five daily prayers collectively are one pillar of the Five Pillars of Islam, in Sunni Islam, and one of the ten Ancillaries of the Faith (Furū al-Dīn) according to Shia Islam.
