Namaz (also known as Salat or Salah) is the best worship of Allah and one of the most important pillars of Islam.

Namaz is an obligatory prayer performed by a true Muslim five times a day, following this logical sequence:

The Five Daily Prayers
Fajr From Astronomical Dawn until Sunrise.
Zuhr From when the sun has passed the zenith (midday).
Asr From mid-afternoon after Zuhr until before sunset.
Maghrib   From Sunset to the end of Dusk.
Isha Until 1 hour after the end of Dusk.

Each namaz lasts between five and ten minutes, that is, a true Muslim says the prayers for about 30 minutes a day.
