(salam) Basim brother how are you? sorry i was away from shiatchat for long time. nice to see you as a mod :P Basim do you remember i made a website and we both were working on it? well i am going to copy paste from that website's section "combine prayers" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Namaz Timing in Quran We would like to refer to the Holy Quran and see the timings of Namaz which were given from Allah Ta'ala to the Muslims. First Ayat: Ayat No. 78 in sure Bani Israil Allah, the Most Exalteds says: "Keep up prayers when declining of sun, till the darkness of the night, and the morning recitation; surely the morning recitation is witnessed". In this Ayat, Allah Ta'ala clearly gives the timings of Namaz as follows. 1. When declining of Sun: Which is the beginning time of Namaze Zohr and Namaze Asr. 2. The darkness of the night: Which is the beginning of Namaze Maghrib and Namaze Isha. It is useful to state that the timing of Maghrib Namaz and Iftar of fasting differ between Shias who are followers of Real Islam through Ahlul bayt (A.S.) and other Muslims who mainly follow either Abu Hanifa, Shaafeie, Mealik, or Ibne Hambal. Shia Muslims believe that time of Maqhrib Namaaz start after vanishing of the reddish light in the west, which is reflection of sunlight when sun is unseen in east. This again proves that time of Maghrib Namaze is beginning of the night, which exactly is the time considered by Shia Muslims. 3. The Morning recitation: Which is the time of morning prayers. It is mentioned in the Ahadith (traditions) that (Morning recitation is surely being witnessed) because the Angels of Night along with Angels of Day, both witness the Morning Prayer. It is clear from this Ayat that main timing for Namaz are three, First: Zohar and Asr Second: Maghrib and Isha Third: Morning Let us see the second Ayat: Ayat No. 114 in Sure Hood Allah, the Most Exalteds says: "And keep up prayer in the two sides of the day and in the beginning of the night, surely good deeds take away evil deeds. That is a reminder to the mindful". In this, Ayat timings of Namaz are given again clearly as Three main times, as follows: First & Second: The sides of the day; which means morning which is the beginning side of the day, and Afternoon which is the other side of the day, when Zohr and Asr Namaz time starts. Third: In the beginning of the night; which is the time of Magrib and Isha Namaz. It is then very clear that timing of Namaz in Quran, are three main items for five prayers. First: From Afternoon unto before sunset: for Namaze Zohr then Namaze Asr. Second: From Real Sunset when Night starts beings the time for Namaze Maghrib and Namaze Isha. Third: Morning Namaz. for full article http://deenislam.webs.com/combineprayers.htm i am also a learner, so forgive me if this didn't help you. (wasalam)
