Importance of prayer (Salah) according to the Quran and Hadith

Prayer is the second pillar of Islam. It is a way that connects a human with their creators. Five times of prayer are obligatory for all Muslims (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Mughrib, Isha). Islam told the value of prayer time through Quranic Ayah and Prophet Hadith. Here are some Ayats and Hadith’s on the importance of Salah.

Importance Of Prayer (Salah) According to Hadith’s

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“There is nothing superior to a person who is given by Allah the opportunity to perform a two-rak’ah prayer giving. As he is busy with praying, goodness and good deeds are poured onto him.” (Musnad Ahmad)

 Reported from Ibn Abbas (r.a.):

 “Once, the Messenger of Allah said to his Companions, “Pray as follows ‘O Allah! Do not make anybody among the rebellious and deprived people.'” Then, he asked, “Do you know who is rebellious and deprived?” The Companions said, “Who? O Messenger of Allah!” The Prophet said, “He who does not perform prayers!” (Ibn Hajar “az-Zawajir” / Abu’l-Lays Samarqandi “Qurratu’l Uyun”)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

 “I made it fard for your ummah to perform five daily prayers. And I made a promise to myself: If someone comes to me by paying attention to performing five daily prayers, I will send him to Paradise. I have nothing to say for the one who does pay attention to prayers.” (Abu Dawud)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“No Salat is more burdensome to the hypocrites than the Fajr (dawn) prayer and the ‘Isha’ (night) prayer; and if they knew their merits, they would come to them even if they had to crawl to do so.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. (Riyad as-Salihin 1073)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The two Rak’ah before the dawn (Fajr) prayer are better than this world and all it contains.” [Muslim]……. (Riyad as-Salihin 1102)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“When man prostrates upon reciting a verse of prostration, Satan moves away from that place by crying and says, ‘I was destroyed. Man was ordered to prostrate and he did; thus, he deserved Paradise. I was also ordered to prostrate but I avoided prostrating. I deserve hellfire.’” (from Sahih Muslim: 81)

Importance Of Prayer (Salah) According to Quran

It is mentioned in the Quran:

But after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face Destruction,- [19:59]

in another place Quran says:

“You shall recite what is revealed to you of your Lord’s Scripture (the Quran). Nothing shall abrogate His words, and you shall not find any other source beside it.” [18:27]

Here Quran describes believer:

Turn ye back in repentance to Him, and fear Him: establish regular prayers, and be not ye among those who join gods with Allah,-. [30:31]
