All schools of thought agree that any given prayer cannot be performed before its stipulated time. Muslims pray a minimum of five times a day, with their fard (obligatory) prayers being known as Fajr (before dawn), Dhuhr (noon), Asr (late afternoon), Maghrib (at sunset), and Isha (nighttime), always facing towards the Kaaba . The direction of prayer is called the qibla ; the early Muslims initially prayed in the direction of Jerusalem before this was changed to Mecca in 624 CE, about a year after Muhammad 's migration to Medina . The timing of the five prayers are fixed intervals defined by daily astronomical phenomena. In a mosque, the muezzin broadcasts the call to prayer at the beginning of each interval. Because the start and end times for prayers are related to the solar diurnal motion , they vary throughout the year and depend on the local latitude and longitude when expressed in local time . In modern times, various religious or scientific agencies in Muslim countries produce annual prayer timetables for each locality, and electronic clocks capable of calculating local prayer times have been created. In the past, some mosques employed astronomers called the muwaqqit s who were responsible for regulating the prayer time using mathematical astronomy. The five intervals were defined by Muslim authorities in the decades after the death of Muhammad in 632, based on the hadith (the reported sayings and actions) of the Islamic prophet.
