Importance of praying Salah in Quran and Hadith

Salah is obligatory for every Muslim to pray five times a day on time. These hadith can understand the importance of praying Salah on time:

  • “Abdullah asked the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) “Which deed is the dearest to Allah?” He replied, “To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 527).
  • As Narrated by Ibn Umar, Allah’s Messenger said: “The beginning of the time for Salah is pleasing to Allah, and Allah pardons the end of its time.” (Jami at-Tirmidhi 172), so don’t you want to begin the prayer on time and at earliest to please your Almighty, without which you cannot attain the place in Jannah.

These Quranic verses can also be understood it:

“Surely the Salah at fixed hours (of the day and night) has been enjoined upon the believers.” (Quran 4:103).
