All my friends are very meticulous about performing their prayers. They perform their prayers on a timely manner and by the leave of God don't miss any prayers.

My friends are very meticulous about performing their daily prayers on time. They never delay their prayers and always perform their prayers on time.

The hypocrites would not take ablution or perform prayers if there are no one around to see. They only take ablution and perform their prayers when there are people around.

Both performing prayers and fasting is the expression of the lover to his Love.

Performing regular prayers is our way of expressing our love for God. God is pleased with our love for Him, and we are delighted with God's love.

All my friends are very meticulous about their prayers. They always perform their prayers on time and are very careful not to miss any prayer.

Allah reveals in the Qur'an that prayer is an obligation that must be performed on time. It is not acceptable to delay prayer to another time.

The Qur'an is sufficient. A Muslim knows praying and prayer times from the details given in the Qur'an.

The Qur'an is adequate. How the prayers will be performed and the times for their observance are clearly stated in the Qur'an.

A sincere, devout Muslim would never forget performing prayers. Performing daily prayers is an amazing act of worship with which we show our love to God. It is a blessing for us.

Performing prayers is a very old form of worship. All tribes throughout history prayed throughout history. This is also seen on cave paintings.

Buddhism is a corrupt version of true religion. Acts of worship like prayer, fasting and giving alms exist in Buddhism, though in a changed form.

Many practices that are not in the Qur’an are invented to keep people away from prayer. They are used as a barrier before religion. Millions are prevented from practicing faith by means of invented practices that have no place in the Qur’an.

In many verses of the Qur’an, God mentions the existence of various realms. "Say: ´My prayer and my rites, my living and my dying, are for God alone, the Lord of all the worlds.” Qur'an, 1:162

All my friends perform their daily prayers five times every day and are very meticulous about their prayers.

God commands how to take ablution with one verse in the Qur’an and it is very easy. The bigots on the other hand, come up with 600 pages of made-up rules about ablution that differs in each school of Islam. Looking at these made up rules, some people say that they won’t be able to take ablution and perform prayers. The understanding of religion that is outside the Qur’an causes people to remain distant to Islam.

We relish in worshiping God and performing prayer. How nice that prayer is a beauty that has been performed for thousands of years.

Satan wants to drown people in details in order to alienate them from prayer. Bigots complicate prayer by listing thousands of things that will render the prayer invalid; however, performing prayer is quite easy. That is why God did not go into detail in the Qur'an regarding prayer; He only mentions ruqu [bowing down], sujud [prostration] and qiyam [standing up]. Perform your prayer and leave: That is it.

Most people stay away from performing prayers because bigots portray it like it is a difficult practice. On the contrary, it is very easy and brings happiness. Turning prayer/ablution into difficult practices, is satan’s plot. Allah explains ablution in one verse in Qur’an. But some people write 300-page books explaining it.

Because the traditional orthodox understanding of Islam has shown prayer (salat) as if it is too complicated to perform, many stay away from prayer.

Salat (prayer) is a religious obligation that must be performed at certain, designated times of the day.

The daily prayer really annoys the hypocrites; they regard that as totally unnecessary but he likes the good intentions and virtue of Muslims. The immorality of the unbelievers troubles him. That is why the hypocrite does not nail his colors to the mast of unbelief.

If you believe in God, it would be cruel not to wake up for the morning prayer. That is because you promise God and say that you love God, that you appreciate His blessings on you and that you are thankful to Him. But then you say, "I do not want to thank You!" How is that acceptable?

One wakes up for the morning prayers with love. God created you with all these details and gives you uninterrupted blessings. In the morning God gives you food, He feeds you at lunch time and also at dinner. He gives you your breath constantly and has your heart working uninterruptedly day in and day out. If He stops your heart for a moment, you would be dead. If He stops your breathing for a moment, you would be dead. If you consider prayers to be too much for God, that would be foul play against God.

Information does not flow to the brain out of the blue. The brain should be disciplined; it should be educated. It is not possible to do by sitting back, one needs to work for it. Thinking is an act of worship, just like prayers.
