Question 1

What time is Asr prayer in Casablanca, and how can I know when it starts?

Accepted Answer

Asr begins when the shadow of an object is equal to its length plus the shadow it had at noon, and it lasts until just before sunset. The exact time changes daily depending on the sun’s position, so the easiest way is to check a trusted local prayer time app or your nearby masjid in Casablanca. Aim to pray earlier rather than closer to sunset—it’s a more peaceful experience.

Question 2

Is Asr prayer mentioned directly in the Qur’an?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is. Allah swears by time in Surah Al-Asr, emphasizing how every moment matters. The Prophet ﷺ also warned against missing Asr, describing it as a loss greater than losing one’s family and wealth. That shows how sacred this window of the day truly is—short, but heavy with spiritual meaning.

Question 3

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 4

Why is Asr sometimes called the ‘middle prayer’?

Accepted Answer

Asr sits between the busyness of the day and the calm of the evening. It’s a turning point—a spiritual checkpoint that helps you pause and reconnect before the day closes. The Prophet ﷺ emphasized protecting this ‘middle prayer,’ reminding us that maintaining faith in the middle of activity is one of the truest signs of devotion.
