loves it.

best manner outwardly and inwardly before Allaah.

Salaat in Terms of Time can be classified into
1- The Salaat which is specified to a prescribed time where it is INVALID to offer
the Salaat BEFORE OR AFTER this time, even if there is an excuse and this applies
to the Jum'ah (Friday) prayer.
2- The Salaat which is specified to a prescribed time where it is INVALID to offer it
BEFORE this time but VALID to do so AFTER this time due to an excuse. This
applies to the Five Daily Prayers.
3- The Salaat which is dependent upon a CAUSE, it is valid if the cause exists, like
Salutation of the Masjid, Sunnat al-Wudhu, the two Rak'ah following Tawaaf.
4- The Salaat which is general, like general Nafl, and the missed prayer (done
upon remembering it was missed).

May Allah reward you, nebula, for this important thread..

Sobhanallah.. So we have to pray well since Allah gave it this high position..

8- It prevents from all kinds of evil-doings and illegal sexual acts

Allah says:
[29:45] You shall recite what is revealed to you of the scripture, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), for the Contact Prayers prohibit evil and vice. But the remembrance of GOD (through Salat) is the most important objective. GOD knows everything you do.
If we feel that we can’t cast away sins, we have to check whether our prayers are done perfectly or not, because sure whoever remembers Allah & pray well, will not commit sins..

The five prayers really organize our times & Sobhannallah if we feel nervous or disappointing, the feeling after offering Salah is positively changed..
It’s like the nurture of our souls..

May Allah make us among those:

[70:23] Who always observe their contact prayers (Salat).
