Salat will provide provides you with the following times: Fajr (Dawn Prayer) Shuruq (Sunrise - end of Fajr Prayer) Dhuhr (Noon Prayer) Asr (Mid-afternoon Prayer) Maghrib (Sunset Prayer) Isha (Nightfall Prayer)Praying in the right direction Salat also comes with a Qiblah feature* that indicates the direction to the Kabba in Mecca wherever you are in the world. Simply locate your position on the map, and the Qiblah direction will be indicated with an arrow.Salat is designed to work with any BlackBerry device with OS 4.5 or higher.
