What does SALAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
The ritual prayer performed by Muslims, recited at five set times each day facing the direction of Mecca, and counted among the five pillars of Islam.
Salat follows a fixed sequence of standing, bowing and prostration paired with recitations from the Quran, and Muslims perform it individually or together in a mosque. The word is also spelled salah in many English texts, and both spellings refer to the same daily practice rather than to two different things. Alongside fasting, charity, pilgrimage and the declaration of faith, salat is one of the five pillars considered central to Muslim religious life.
