Explanation

During Zuhr prayer, which is the midday prayer, the imam recites the Quran silently. The people praying behind the imam also recite silently to themselves.

This is different from Fajr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers where the imam recites out loud. Silent recitation helps maintain focus during the middle of the day.

Asr prayer is also recited silently, following the same pattern as Zuhr.
