Forenoon prayer

The forenoon prayer comes between the rising of the sun in the eastern horizon and a little before mid-day. It is of two kinds and is called the prayer of “ISHRAQ” (early forenoon ) and another “CHASHT” (latter forenoon). The former takes place when the sun is nearly in the mid-eastern sky and the second a little before noon. The Ishraq consists of 2 to 6 rak’ats and the Chasht 2 to 12 rak’ats. This prayer has great merit, though it is not Farz, Wajeb or Sunnat. In order to gain excellence and high divine morals, this prayer has been recommended. Nearly all the Prophets used to observed this prayer Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and others. Great rewards for this prayer have been promised in the traditions.
