Question 1

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 2

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 3

What time is Asr prayer in Qardho, 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 Qardho. Aim to pray earlier rather than closer to sunset—it’s a more peaceful experience.

Question 4

What are the rewards of praying Asr on time?

Accepted Answer

The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever prays Asr will have their good deeds protected until the evening. It’s also a prayer that shields your heart from negligence. When you make time for Asr in Qardho, you carry a sense of peace and accomplishment through the rest of your day. You finish your work lighter, knowing you’ve honored your spiritual duty before sunset.
