The Zuhr prayer (صَلَاة ٱلظُّهْر , "noon prayer") is the second of the five mandatory salah (Islamic prayer). It contains four units (rakaʿāt) and begins after the sun reaches its zenith.

The muezzin plays an important role in ensuring an accurate prayer schedule for the Muslim community. The English word muezzin is borrowed from مُؤَذِّن, mu.ʔað.ðin, simplified mu'azzin, the active participle of أَذَّنَ "to call". Thus, it means "the calling one". The professional muezzin is chosen for his good character, voice and skills to serve at the mosque.

It honours the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as an act of obedience to God's command.
