The dhuhr prayer (Arabic: صلاة الظهر‎ ṣalāt aẓ-ẓuhr  IPA: [sˤalaːt aðˤðˤuhr], "noon prayer") is the prayer after midday (but before the time for the Asr prayer.) Performed daily by practicing Muslims, it is the second of the five daily prayers (salah, the Islamic day begins at maghrib). The five daily prayers collectively are one of the Five Pillars of Islam in Sunni Islam, and one of the ten Practices of the Religion (Furū al-Dīn) according to Shia Islam. It is reduced to two rakaʿāt when traveling.

In both of the sects, four rakaʿāt are required (Fard) and are prayed silently. However, in Sunni Islam, four rakaʿāt prior to the Fard raka'ah and two rakaʿāt following the Fard raka'ah are highly recommended. The second raka'ah is sunnah.

On Friday the Dhuhr prayer is replaced by Jumu'ah, which is obligatory for all Muslims of sound mind above the age of puberty who are residents of a large town or city with a mosque.
