Islam’s base rests upon your five pillars; prayer is undoubtedly of them. Prayer means to worship one Allah. Muslims are for you to pray five times each day to Allah almighty, which may have the following labels;
1) Fajr
2) Zuhr
3) Asr
4) Maghrib
5) Isha
Allah says in Quran :
“Pray to me and I will hear your prayer” Quran ( Quran 40:60).
Namaz, Salah or Prayer is obligatory on every Muslim man and woman after reaching adolescence. Among all the wonderful benefits of praying, here is why Prayer is so important a deed in Islam:
The importance of prayer is demonstrated in many of the Prophet’s statements. For example, the Prophet said,
“The first matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will be sound. And if it is incomplete, then the rest of his deeds will be incomplete.” According to al-Albani, it is Sahih. Al-Albani, Sahih al-Jami, vol.1, p. 503.
Prayer is obligatory for Muslim’s as being the first pillar of Islam and being second most important after the faith in the oneness of Allah and holding no one next to him. Prayer in Arabic means salat which means prayer and blessing. Prayer has to offer by every Muslim around the world whether he/she is sick or even in a battlefield, there is no concession in it, and if a person is not physically fit he/she is to pray via certain signs or directions. Prayer has been stressed time and time again in the holy Quran. Holy Prophet P.B.U.H once said that: he who does not pray is not considered as a Muslim.
The overall affect that the properly performed prayers should have upon humans is described in other verses in the Quran:
“Verily, man was created impatient, irritable when evil touches him and ungenerous when good touches him. Except for those devoted to prayer those who remain constant in their prayers…” (Quran 70:19-23)
The importance of Salah in Hadith
Narrated AbuHurayrah (RAA) Rasulullah (SAW) said: Five prayers and from one Friday prayer to (the next) Friday prayer is an expiation (of the sins committed in between their intervals) if major sins are not committed. (Sahih Muslim Book 2, Number 0448)
Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day would you notice any dirt on him?" They said, "Not a trace of dirt would be left." The Prophet added, "That is the example of the five prayers with which Allah blots out (annuls) evil deeds." (Sahih Al Bukhari Volume 1, Book 10, Hadith # 506)
Narrated Uthman ibn Affan (RAA) Rasulullah (SAW) at the time of our returning from our prayer told us (certain things pertaining to purification).
He said: I do not know whether I should tell you a thing or keep quiet. We said: Rasulullah, tell us if it is good and if it is otherwise, Allah and Messenger (SAW) know better. Upon this he said: A Muslim who purifies (himself) and completes purification as enjoined upon him by Allah and then offers the prayers, that will be expiatious (of his sins he committed) between these (prayers). (Sahih Muslim Book 2, Hadith # 0444)
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah (RAA) Rasulullah (SAW) said: The similitude of five prayers is like an overflowing river passing by the gate of one of you in which he washes five times daily. Hasan said: No filthiness can remain on him. (Sahih Muslim Book 4, Hadith # 1411)
