Question 1

Why does it feel so hard to remember or pray Asr during a busy afternoon?

Accepted Answer

Because by afternoon, your energy is low, your to-do list is long, and distractions pile up. Asr often arrives when you’re caught between finishing tasks and preparing for the evening. But that’s what makes it powerful—it’s a conscious pause. Choosing to pray Asr in Baguio City, despite the rush, strengthens your discipline and fills your afternoon with quiet purpose.

Question 2

Can I make up Asr if I miss it or the sun has already set?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. If you miss Asr, you must pray it as soon as you remember, even if the sun has already set. For an unintentional miss, such as from sleep or forgetfulness, the Prophet ﷺ gave clear guidance: 'Whoever forgets a prayer, let him pray it when he remembers.' However, if Asr was missed intentionally, this is a particularly grave sin that requires immediate and sincere repentance (Tawbah), as the Prophet ﷺ warned sternly against missing this specific prayer. Alongside repenting, the vast majority of scholars state that you are still obligated to make up the prayer as soon as possible. Because of its great importance, it is vital to guard the Asr prayer with extra care and ask Allah for His help in maintaining this beautiful act of worship.

Question 3

How long does Asr prayer take?

Accepted Answer

Asr is typically four rak‘ahs and takes about five to seven minutes, depending on your pace and recitation. It’s short enough to fit into a busy day but long enough to completely reset your focus. You’ll be surprised how a few mindful minutes can change how the rest of your afternoon feels.

Question 4

Are there Sunnah prayers associated with Asr?

Accepted Answer

There are no emphasized Sunnah prayers before Asr, but the Prophet ﷺ occasionally prayed four non-obligatory rak‘ahs before it. It’s not required, but it’s a beautiful way to prepare your heart before the obligatory prayer. Think of it as warming your spirit before stepping into worship. Even a short, sincere dua before Asr carries great reward.
