PROHIBITED TIMES OF PRAYER.

Prohibited times of prayer

There are three principal times in which prayer is unlawful: (1) When the sun is in the course of rising; (2) when the sun is just in the meridian; and (3) when the sun is in the course of setting. The prohibition is chiefly due to the fact that a Muslim’s action must be in opposition to that of the polytheists. The object is the pluck out idolatory in any shape or form. The sun, when it rises, sets or in the meridian, is worshipped by many nations. If prayer is offered at these times, some people may be led to think that Islam also sanctions the worship of the sun.
