At Alkosar Online Quran Academy, we believe that timely namaz (prayer) is not only a ritual act but a source of spiritual strength and divine connection. As an online Quran learning platform dedicated to Shia Muslims, we aim to provide clarity on Shia prayer times, importance of each Islam prayer time, and how to align our lives with the call of Allah.
The Significance of Prayer in Islam
Prayer (Salat/Namaz) is the second pillar of Islam and a direct communication between the servant and the Creator. Allah (SWT) says in the Holy Quran:
“Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.”
— Surah Taha, 20:14
For every Shia Muslim, these Islam prayer times are not just daily schedules—they’re sacred moments.
Shia Prayer Times: How They Differ
Unlike Sunni practice of five separate namaz times, Shia Muslims are allowed to combine:
- Dhuhr (Zuhr) & Asr
- Maghrib & Isha
This means Shia Muslims can pray in three main time blocks:
- Fajr – Before sunrise
- Dhuhr + Asr – After Zawal (midday) till sunset
- Maghrib + Isha – After sunset till midnight
This combining is based on the teachings of Ahlul Bayt (a.s) and is supported by Hadith and Quranic understanding. Allah (SWT) says:
“Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.”
— Surah An-Nisa, 4:103
Thus, following accurate Shia prayer times is essential.

Quranic Reflection on Prayer
The Holy Quran frequently reminds believers about Salat. One of the most beautiful reminders:
“And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds erase bad deeds. That is a reminder for those who remember.”
— Surah Hud, 11:114
This verse emphasizes the major time blocks, consistent with Shia namaz timing principles.
