Religions have different rituals and practices that accompany and highlight religious experience. A ritual must fit into four categories. These four categories are that it must be a repetitive social practice, it must be set off from the routines of day to day life, it must follow some sort of ritual schema, and it must be encoded in myth. Ritual often has its roots in myth and religion, tying itself to ancient practices between the divine and humans. However, a ritual does not have to be religious in nature;

Religion can be defined as concepts or ideas and the practices associated with them. These practices hypothesize reality beyond that which is instantly available to the senses. An example of an old ritual that is encoded in myth and religious symbolism can be found in the catacombs of Sicily where over 2,000 dead bodies are kept. Most of these bodies have been embalmed or mummified and dressed in the attire that suited their profession, many of them being nobles, professionals, and merchants

There are some religous rituals of islam, The Islam has Five Pillar and this five pillars of Islam make up the basic foundations of belief, for a Muslim the rituals in islam are summarized in the five pillars where most of rituals are performed in our neighborhood , The only Islamic rituals specific to Makkah are the Hajj and the Umrah - and their various individual components.

The main Practices and Rituals in islam is Prayer (shalat) It is the practice of formal prayer in Islam. Its supreme importance for Muslims is indicated by its status as one of the Five Pillars of Sunni Islam, of the Ten Practices of the Religion of Twelver Islam. Salah is a ritual prayer, having prescribed conditions, a prescribed procedure, and prescribed times.

Performing salah is obligatory, with a few dispensations for those for whom it would be difficult. For those whom it is difficult they can perform Salah in a way which is suitable for them. They can perform Salah while sitting down (in case of illness or any situation like traveling in a vehicle, on a horse, etc), while lying down (in case of illness) and even with indication. To perform valid Salah, Muslims must be in a state of ritual purity, which is mainly achieved by ritual ablution according to prescribed procedures.

After Salah, often duas and munajats are held. Certain hadiths recommends reciting Ayatul Kursi, Al-Falaq, Al-Nas , etc. after Salah for protection

For Sunnis and Musta'lids, salah is prescribed at five periods of the day, which are measured according to the movement of the sun. These are: near dawn (fajr), just after noon (dhuhr), in the afternoon (asr), just after sunset (maghrib) and around nightfall (isha'a). Under some circumstances prayers can be shortened or combined (according to prescribed procedures). In case a prayer is skipped, it must be made up later

While For Shia doctrine permits two sets of these prayers to be performed in succession. Sufis often perform dhikr after the conclusion of prayers.

The soul (nafs) employs the body to attain its goals. The soul has also other names, including spirit (ruh), intelligence ('Aql), and heart (qalb) although these terms have other usages. The primary faculties of the soul are :

The value of these forces is obvious. Reason distinguishes good and evil: ghadab (anger) helps defend against aggression: sexual attraction maintains the survival of the human species; and imagination allows visualization of universals or particulars. Reason is man's guiding angel. Anger brings violence; passions (hawā) encourage immorality; and imagination provides material to formulate demoniac plots and machinations. If reason controls the other faculties, it moderates excesses and ensures useful performance. 

Allah says in surat Ash-Shams: And by nafs, (soul), and Him Who perfected him in proportion; Then He inspired him corruption and its righteousness; Indeed he succeed who chooses to purify his ownself; and indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself. The soul is in a continuous jihad (struggle) between these four powers for domination. The victorious trait determines the soul's inclination.

The period between sunset and dusk is called twilight. Astronomers recognize three stages of twilight. Civil twilight begins when the sun's disc is 6 degrees below the horizon . Other celestial objects are still clearly visible at this point. Then Nauitical twilight until the sun sank below the horizon 12 degrees. In this period the horizon looks unclear. astronomical twilight-total dark-started when the Sun is 18 degrees below horizon. The same thing happened - in reverse order, when the sun will rise.

The position of the Sun in the Determination of Salat Time ,

"True prayer is an obligation that is determined his time upon those who believe "(QS An-Nisa: 103).

Of the provisions contained in the Qur'an and Hadith to be understood that the provisions of prayer is associated with the position of the sun on the celestial sphere. Therefore, in determining the initial prayers, astronomical data is the most important positions of the sun, especially high, h, or zenith distance. The phenomenon of early dawn (morning twislight), sunrise (sunrise), the sun crossed the meridian (culmination), sunset (sunset), and late afternoon (evening twilight) associated with the sun's zenith distance.

Isha dan Shubuh

Isha time is defined as when red light (syafaq) in the sky are gone, until dawn shaddiq. While Shubuh time begins when the dawn shaddiq appear, until shortly before sunrise (syuruq). Please note, that shortly after sunset, the sky not directly darkened, because our planet has an atmosphere so that even though the sun is below the horizon (the west), there is still the reflected sunlight in the sky.

From the astronomical side, there is light in the sky before sunrise and after sunset is called Twilight, which literally means "light between two", ie between day and night. In Arabic, "twilight" is called syafaq. Astronomically, there are three definitions of twilight:

Civil Twilight, when the sun is 6 ° below the horizon
Nautical twilight, ie when the sun is 12 ° below the horizon
Astronomical Twilight, when the sun is 18 ° below the horizon

Astronomers think "Twilight Astronomical evening" marks the beginning of the night; but this definition is for practical purposes only.

Astronomically, the time is the inverse of the time Shubuh and Isha '. Toward morning, dawn marked by a towering light (vertical) on the eastern horizon; This is called "dawn kadzib". The light is then spread on the horizon (horizontally), and is called the "dawn shaddiq".
