Most scholars recognize the exception, but caution that it should be used judiciously, and not just to avoid uncomfortable situations. Then why not take a few minutes to be with God? Most Muslims can complete their prayers in three to five minutes, although pre-prayer ablutions, or ritual washing, can take almost as long. For each of the five prayers - pre-dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and night -- Muslims have a few hours to make them, although some say prayers are best when made early.
These times change throughout the year as the length of the days varies. In his 20 years with the same company in Los Angeles, IT Manager Soheil Naimi has seen supervisors come and go, but none ever prevented him from praying.
In fact, Naimi's prayer space has improved as he's been promoted. When he started, he had no office and used to pray in open conference rooms. He later received a cubicle that was big enough to pray in, but was often interrupted by co-workers, who he tuned out while praying. He now has his own office, so praying is easy. The only time performing prayers can be hard is when he's out of the office, said Naimi, who has prayed in his car, in a bathroom, and has occasionally missed prayer altogether.
Kelly Kaufmann, a program manager at a Chicago health insurance company, keeps a prayer rug in a Macy's tote bag at her office, and reserves one of her company's many meeting rooms twice daily for 30 minutes. Kaufmann, who also asked that her company not be named, text messages Muslim co-workers to let them know when she has a room reserved.

This letter is only meant to give faculty more information with which to make their own decisions. Spring Re: Muslim Prayers. Prayer is one of the fundamental requirements of the Islamic faith.
Followers of the faith believe in maintaining a direct connection with God through these acts of daily worship. For this reason, many Muslim students may request to leave class for a short period of time in order to fulfill this obligation. Though Benedictine is known to have an amazingly understanding and accepting faculty, certain rules and regulations shall be established to ensure that Muslim students do not take advantage of this.
Thus, we hope the following few facts about the Islamic tradition of prayer may be of use for our dear professors:.
There are five daily prayers in the Muslim faith. While the basic requirement is that all Muslims should pray five times a day, the reality is that faith is practiced at the discretion of the follower.
Some Muslims are stricter than others, while some cannot pray at certain times i. Thus, professors may encounter some Muslim students requesting to be excused to pray while other Muslims may not.
The five daily prayers include: Fajr sunrise prayer , Dhuhr noon prayer , Asr afternoon prayer , Maghrib sunset prayer , and Isha night prayer. Each prayer has a specific window of time in which it must be completed. These timings are based upon the sun.
For this reason, the timings of each prayer window change marginally and gradually each day and are different at various times of the year. The end timings of each prayer except for the sunrise prayer is marked by the beginning of the next prayer.
