Why Do We Pray Five Prayers In Three Times?
What is the reason that we pray Zuhr-Asr and Maghrib-Isha prayers together, whereas for every Prayer there is a special time and the great leaders of Islam used to pray on the particular times. That is they used to pray five prayers are five different times a day?
Answer: There is no scope of argument in this matter that to establish Prayers five times a day and pray on the special times had been the practice of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), the holy Imam (a.s.) and the common Muslims at the early period of Islam and they used to generally pray five prayers at five different times.
The World Assembly of Shiite Studies was established in 2003 (1382 AH) by a group of scholars from seminaries and universities. The purpose of founding this independent academic institution was to introduce the school of Shi‘ism and defend its legitimacy through education, research, translation and publication, communications, and Islamic promotion. This center has continued its mission with strength and determination and envisions a bright future ahead.
