These prayers, which consist of units known as ''rak'ah'', include a specific set of physical postures, recitation from the Quran, and prayers from the Sunnah, and are performed while facing the direction towards the Kaaba in Mecca (''qibla''). The number of ''rak'ah'' varies depending on the specific prayer. Variations in practice are observed among adherents of different ''madhahib'' (schools of Islamic jurisprudence).
