For that reason, performing 4 raka’at of prayer is to give more times for the changes of the charge inside our body. • Usually we perform our Maghrib prayer after returning from work. We do not use too much energy during the interval of Asr’ and Maghrib. Therefore, Muslims perform three raka’at for Maghrib prayer. • For Isya’ prayer, we are required to perform four raka’at of praying because it can stabilize charge inside our body and give energy for us to do qiamulail.
