Question 1

When exactly does Dhuhr prayer start and end in Al Fayyum?

Accepted Answer

Dhuhr begins right after the sun passes its highest point in the sky and lasts until the time of Asr. The exact times change daily based on the sun’s position, so checking your local prayer times in Al Fayyum is the best way to stay accurate. You have a wide window to pray, but it’s always best to perform it early when the day still feels calm and bright.

Question 2

What are the blessings or rewards of praying Dhuhr on time?

Accepted Answer

Praying Dhuhr on time brings protection, clarity, and barakah in your day. The Prophet ﷺ taught that whoever maintains the five daily prayers will find light and success. Dhuhr specifically shields you in the heart of your day—it’s like refueling your spirit before the afternoon rush. Those few minutes of worship can transform the rest of your hours into something meaningful.

Question 3

Can I make up Dhuhr if I miss it or forget to pray on time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, making up a missed Dhuhr prayer is an obligation. If you miss it unintentionally due to a valid reason like sleeping or forgetting, the Prophet's ﷺ teaching is a mercy from Allah: you must pray it as soon as you remember. However, if a prayer was missed intentionally in the past, this is considered a major sin that requires sincere repentance (Tawbah) to Allah. Along with repenting, the overwhelming majority of scholars affirm that you must also make up the missed prayer. The most important thing is not to let a mistake lead to despair. Turn back to Allah, perform the prayer you missed, and make a firm commitment to guard your prayers on time in the future, as Allah loves those who repent and return to Him.

Question 4

Why is Dhuhr often called the 'middle prayer'?

Accepted Answer

While Dhuhr is in the middle of the workday and serves as a crucial spiritual checkpoint, the term 'the middle prayer' (Al-Salat al-Wusta) mentioned in the Qur'an refers specifically to the Asr prayer, according to the strongest prophetic teachings. Dhuhr provides essential balance to our day, reminding us to reconnect with Allah amidst our busiest hours. It breaks the momentum of worldly tasks and recenters our hearts on our true purpose.
