What are the five types of Namaz?

Namaz, also known as Salah or Salat, is the Islamic practice of ritual prayer performed by Muslims. There are five obligatory daily prayers that Muslims are required to perform:

1. Fajr: The pre-dawn prayer, consisting of two Rakats (units of prayer). It is performed before sunrise.
2. Dhuhr: The midday prayer, consisting of four Rakats. It is performed after the sun has passed its zenith (highest point in the sky).
3. Asr: The afternoon prayer, consisting of four Rakats. It is performed in the late afternoon before sunset.
4. Maghrib: The evening prayer, consisting of three Rakats. It is performed just after sunset.
5. Isha: The night prayer, consisting of four Rakats. It is performed after the twilight has disappeared, and before midnight.

In addition to these five daily prayers, Muslims may also perform additional voluntary prayers, known as Sunnah or Nafl prayers, to gain extra spiritual rewards.
