Salaat is a 2010 art film by Kaz Rahman.[1]

## Synopsis

[edit]

Five different women walk, ride and work through the day and each performs one of the five Muslim prayers Fajr (sunrise), Zohar (mid-day), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset) and Isha (evening). The film begins with 'Isha' and ends the next day at 'Maghrib' with each prayer being performed in real time amidst stunning settings. This structure also offers a glimpse at the beauty, stress and contradictions of people interacting throughout the day.[2]
