Ishaa

Ishaa refers to the night prayer in Islam, one of the five obligatory daily prayers (Salat). It is the fourth prayer of the day and is performed after sunset and before sunrise. The prescribed time for Ishaa prayer begins when the twilight has completely disappeared from the western sky and ends at the beginning of the Fajr prayer. The specific timing can vary slightly depending on geographical location and the time of year.

The Ishaa prayer consists of four Rak'ahs (units of prayer), which are typically prayed in a specific sequence of standing, bowing, prostrating, and sitting. Muslims perform these prayers facing the Kaaba in Mecca. While the prayer can be offered individually, it is highly recommended to perform it in congregation at a mosque. The performance of Ishaa, like all prayers, involves reciting verses from the Quran and performing physical movements that signify submission to God. It is considered a spiritual practice that helps Muslims connect with their faith and seek divine guidance and blessings.
