The Importance of Salat-Namaz According to Quran O Sunnah
The Ruling of Salah:
Prayer is obligatory one every believer. In many of the verses of His Book Allah orders it; such as:
- 1: So perform Salah. Verily, Salah is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours.(4:103)
- 2: Guard strictly Salawat -the prayers especially the middle Salah. (2:238)
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ranked it as the second pillar of the five pillars of Islam, as He ﷺ said: Islam has been built upon five pillars: Testifying that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger, performing Salah, paying Zakah, pilgrimage to the House, and the fast of Ramadan. (Al-Bukhari)
Thus, the one abandoning it is to be killed according to Islamic Law, and the one neglecting it is considered rebellious by it.
The Wisdom Behind Prayer:
Prayer purifies and chastens the soul, it qualifies the servant for salvation in this life and the Hereafter, it prevents him from immorality and evil deeds.
Allah the Almighty says:
وَ اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ١ؕ اِنَّ الصَّلٰوةَ تَنْهٰى عَنِ الْفَحْشَآءِ وَ الْمُنْكَرِ
And perform Salah. Verily, Salah prevents from immorality and evil deeds. (29:45)

The followings are some Hadiths about the virtues of prayer:
1: The Prophet ﷺ said:
رَأْسُ الأَمْرِ: الإِسْلامُ ، وَعَمُودُهُ : الصَّلاةُ ، وَذُرْوَةُ سَنَامِهِ : الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
the head of the matter is Islam, its pillar is the prayer, and its highest pinnacles is Jihad in the way of Allah.
2: He ﷺ said:
«بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَبَيْنَ الْكُفْرِ تَركُ الصَّلَاةِ»
Between the man and disbelief is the abandonment of the prayer. (Muslim)
3: He ﷺ said: I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, they perform the Salah and pay the Zakah. If they do this, they have protected their blood and their wealth form me except by the right of Islam, and their reckoning will be with Allah the Almighty . (Agreed upon)
When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked: “Which deed is the best?”
4: The Holy Prophet(PBH) Said:
«اَلصَّلَاةُ لِوَقْتِهَا»
Performing Salah at its due time.(Muslim)
5: Holy Prophet ﷺ saying: The parable of the five prayers is the like of a fresh river before the door of one of you where he washes himself five times a day. What filth would that man have?They said: “None.”
Holy Prophet ﷺ said:
«فَإِنَّ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْـخَمْسَ تَذْهَبُ الذُّنُوبَ كَمَا يَذْهَبُ الْـمَاءُ الدَّرَنَ»
the five prayers removes the sins same way that water removes the filth. (Muslim)
6: The Messenger of Allah ﷺSaid:
There is not a Muslim man, upon whom the obligatory prayer time occurs then he performs its ablution well, performs its bowing and prostration with humility except that it is an atonement for the sins committed before it, provided the major sins were shunned. This is valid always. (Muslim)
