Muslims pray in a masjid (arabic name) also known ans mosque. Muslims pray by reciting what is called namaz and saying that I will do whatever it takes to get closer to you and never disobey you. They pray because they want to say sorry for anything wrong they have done andto get closer to god.To show respect.
The Muslims pray by the method of the Namaz, which is also known as the 'Salah'. This comes in the form of five prayers which are done at different times during a day which would be: fajar – the morning prayers, zohar – afternoon prayers, asar – early evening prayers, magrib – after sunset and lastly isha – night prayers.

Also the Muslims are suppose to pray every Friday in the afternoon, this day is known as the "Jumma" and it is compulsory for every Muslim.
The Muslims pray because it is in their religion, it is written in the Quran that:
"The true believers are those who feel a fear in their hearts (of the consequences of violating the commands of God) when God is mentioned. And when His Revelations are recited to them, they find their faith strengthened. They do their best and then put their trust in their Lord." (8:2)"
