Summary
The obligation of prayer began from the time the Prophet received the first revelation, before the Isra' and Mi'raj and before the migration to Madinah. At that stage prayer consisted of two rak'ahs in the early morning and two rak'ahs at dusk. After the Isra' and Mi'raj, Muslims were obliged to perform the five daily obligatory prayers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kewajipan solat bermula semenjak Baginda Rasulullah SAW menerima wahyu pertama lagi iaitu sebelum dari peristiwa Israk dan Mikraj serta penghijrahan Baginda Rasulullah SAW ke kota Madinah.
