Key Notes:
- These obligations were revealed during the Meccan period (610–621 CE) before the 5 daily prayers were mandated in Mi’raj.
- The night prayer (Tahajjud) was an early form of worship before Salat became 5 times daily.
- Most commands focused on faith (Aqeedah), morality, and social justice before detailed laws came in Medina.
