How many rakats are there in each prayer?

Our life revolves around Prayer, Salaah doesn't revolve around our life. 5 Daily Prayers are the Pillars of our Day. Allah swt describes people who make Salaah as those who are Constant with their Prayers. Yet today many of us are doing 'Hit and run Salaah', delaying our Salaah un-necessarily. Salaah is the Foundation of Our Deen.

Salah is obligatory on every Muslim five times a day. 5 times prayers in Islam are Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha. There is great significance in conducting salah daily because prayer creates a link between a man and Allah SWT. For Muslims, praying is not a regulation instead it is a gift from Allah Almighty. In prayer, we can put all things in perspective and see what is really important in life. Prayer reminds us that all things come from Allah (SWT) and it is to Allah that all will return
