importance of prayer

In the name of ALLAH Most Gracious Most Merciful.

Dear brothers and sisters,

ALLAH may bless you.
If you analyze your everyday experiences you will come to the conclusion that roughly only 15 - 25% of Pakistani Muslims offer their prayers regularly despite the fact that one refusal to prostrate to Adam has moulded the angel's teacher( Iblis) into a devil.Why should those Muslims ,who don't offer their prayer regularly , don't think what product will come out of a man who refuses 40 times to prostate to ALLAH,daily.?
Unfortunately those who are regular in their prayers usually unaware of one hadith which teaches us the real manners of prayer. I would quote this very hadith so that you find your shortcomings

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 1.724 Narrated by
Abu Huraira

Allah's Apostle entered the mosque and a person followed him. The man prayed and went to the Prophet and greeted him. The Prophet returned the greeting and said to him, "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." The man went back prayed in the same way as before, returned and greeted the Prophet who said, "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." This happened thrice. The man said, "By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I cannot offer the prayer in a better way than this. Please, teach me how to pray." The Prophet said, "When you stand for Prayer say Takbir and then recite from the Holy Qur'an (of what you know by heart) and then bow till you feel at ease. Then raise your head and stand up straight, then prostrate till you feel at ease during your prostration, then sit with calmness till you feel at ease (do not hurry) and do the same in all your prayers."
