صلاة العصر
The general meaning is "sharpened point/ nib of the spear or lance(t)" which could possibly have a symbolic connotation representing a pointed arch, some referring to the niche of a "mihrab", since the mihrab represent the "point, direction" of prayer to the Ka'abah in Islam. In a "hadith" narrated by Abu Juhaifa in "Sahih al-Bukhari", "Once Allah's Messenger went to Al-Batha' at noon, performed the ablution and offered a two rak'at Zuhr prayer and a two-rak'at 'Asr prayer while a spearheaded stick was planted before him and the passersby were passing in front of it".
