Question 1

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.

Question 2

Are there Sunnah prayers connected to Dhuhr?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The Prophet ﷺ regularly prayed four rak‘ahs of Sunnah before Dhuhr and two after. He described them as deeply rewarding and a source of closeness to Allah. If your day in Port-au-Prince allows it, include at least a few of them. They act like a soft spiritual warm-up before your main prayer and a calm reflection afterward.

Question 3

How do I find a quiet place to pray Dhuhr at work or during my day in Port-au-Prince?

Accepted Answer

You’d be surprised how many small, peaceful spaces exist when you start looking. A quiet conference room, a park bench, or even your parked car can become a prayer space. The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘The whole earth has been made a place of prayer.’ So wherever you are in Port-au-Prince, you can make that spot sacred just by standing in it for Dhuhr.

Question 4

How can I pray Dhuhr during a busy workday without feeling rushed?

Accepted Answer

The beauty of Dhuhr is that it doesn’t take long—just a few minutes of real connection. Try scheduling it like any important meeting or reminder in your phone. If you can’t find a prayer room, look for a quiet corner, even your car. What matters is intention. When you make that small effort in Port-au-Prince, Allah makes it easy and blesses your time more than you’d expect.
