Muslim prayers
Asr and Maghrib are two of the five daily prayers that Muslims perform. Asr (which roughly means afternoon in Arabic) is offered in the late afternoon before sunset. Maghrib (Arabic word for sunset) is performed at sunset.
Asr prayer is performed after the Dhuhr (Arabic for noon) prayer, which takes place at noon and before sunset. It marks the transition from the busy hours of the day to the evening.

On the other hand, Maghrib prayer is offered immediately after sunset, signifying the end of the day and the beginning of the night.
Muslims perform their prayers facing the Kaaba, the sacred site in Mecca . Islam has five daily prayers: Fajr (before dawn), Dhuhr (at noon), Asr (late afternoon), Maghrib (sunset) and Isha (at night).
If a Muslim misses the Asr prayer, it is recommended to offer it before performing the Maghrib prayer. This ensures that the order of the prayers is maintained.
