There are five prayers a muslim must pray each day to be fully carrying out his or her obligations to Allah. These are the minimum amount of prayers a muslim must pray. A muslim may offer as many voluntary prayers in between these 5 prayers as he or she wants, depending only on how much he or she wants Allah to be pleased with him or her. The five minimum prayers are called Fard, and the voluntary prayers are called Sunnah or Nafl. The names and times of the Fard Prayers are:

Salah-ul-Fajr
Before Dawn, in between the time the sun begins to rise, and the time it is fully risen usually around 5am-6am
 
Salah-ul-Zohor
Around noon-time, when the sun is directly overhead around 12pm-1pm
 
Salah-ul-Asr
A little bit afternoon, but before evening, around 4pm-5pm
 
Salah-ul-Magrib
Right before sun sets, around 7pm and 8pm
 
Salah-ul-Isha
After sun has fully set usually a couple of hours after Maghrib around 10pm but one can hold off to pray Isha until late at night if one does not fall asleep first, soem say there is more rewards for the Isha prayer when it is prayed later in the night
 
Salah-ul-Tahajjud
This is a Sunnah or Nafl prayer that is to be prayed in odd numbers, like 3 or 5 units, in between Isha and Fajr, this was a practice of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) that he slept a little bit after Isha and woke up and prayed this prayer then prayed fajr at dawn. It is said that the time between Isha and Fajr especially the last 1/3 of the night is when Allah is most closest to His creation, and that He looks down and to see if anyone is praying to Him and asking His for His Mercy and Forgiveness, so that He can forgive them and give them mercy. so when one prays this prayer at this time, Allah is more likely to be accept his or her prayer
