Salat, also known as prayer or Namaz, is the second pillar of Islam and obligatory for every Muslim. It holds immense significance in the Islamic faith. Even during the nascent stage of Islam, before the public proclamation of the message, Muslims were commanded to establish Salat. Despite the severe persecution faced in Makkah, believers were instructed to observe their prayers diligently. Following Tawhid (The absolute belief in the Oneness of Allah) Salat occupies second fundamental position among the pillars of Islam.

The accountability for Salat begins immediately after death, and negligence in its performance will not be excused. It is mandated under all circumstances: if one cannot pray while standing, they must pray while sitting; if sitting becomes impossible, then praying while lying down is prescribed. As mentioned in hadith

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
"Pray standing; if you cannot, then sitting; and if you cannot, then lying on your side."
— (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 1117)

This unwavering obligation underscores Salat’s unparalleled importance. Given its critical role, Salat frequently features in competitive examinations conducted by FPSC, PPSC, KPPSC, SPSC, BPSC, and other commissions. To assist aspirants in preparing efficiently, we have curated a comprehensive and meticulously organized collection of MCQs on this essential topic.

As the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "The first matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the Salat. If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will be sound, and if it is bad, then the rest of his deeds will be bad."
