2. Allah, the most high, tells us, in His Glorious Qur’an: … that is Allah, your Master, so worship Him; will ye not be reminded?! [Yunus 10:3] Those who establish prayer and, from what We have provisioned the, dispense: those, they are the genuine believers, there are degrees alongside their Master and forgiveness and a noble provision [Al Anfal 8:3 ] And seek help through restraint and the prayer; indeed they are huge, save for the humbled. [Al Baqarah 2:45] 26 ayahs are mentioned in the Qur’an about Salaat (prayer) Indeed I am Allah, there is no god but I, so worship Me and establish the prayer to remember Me. [Ta Ha 20:14]

Imam Sadiq (as) “If the person at prayer knew the mercy that was enveloping him he would never raise his head from prostration” Imam Ali (as) The prayer is the house of sincerity.
