- It can be offered at any time. It expresses gratitude which must be done night and day, all the time, in everything, as directed in in 003:192.
- It must be offered over a dozen times every day. It is an integral part of every one of the prayers – both the mandated five and the optional two every day. See our Commentary Islam 104 – 5 Acts of worship or Pillars of Islam.
- It covers two distinct areas.
