Brother Habiburrehman
Your post give me let just say a call to emaan
Very religious
But i have decided to look at my life in black and white...which I always do...so I'm not going to perform Salah...

Waalaikum Assalam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

My dear Sister,

Don't fall into traps of Shaytan. Salah is very important, only if we know. It is for our benefit. Allah does not get any benefit if we pray or not pray.
If you start reading Quran, the Second chapter begins with a claim from Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala. The claim is that those who are looking for guidance, Quran is the ultimate guidance for them. Then it mentioned some of the attributes of the people who look for guidance and those attributes are:

• One who believe in Unseen

• And Establish Salat

• Spend from what is given to them.

Lets look at the verses I am talking about for reference:

ذَ-ٰلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِلْمُتَّقِينَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ
“This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guidance for those who have Taqwa; who believe in the unseen, and who establish Salah, and spend out of what we have provided for them” [Quran 2:2-3]

Allah Subhanahu Wa Taal further says in the Quran:

فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوَاتِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا
“Then, there came after them a generation who gave up Salah and followed lusts; so they will be thrown in Hell.” [Quran 19: 59]​

You only need to pray 17 Rakah in a day which are obligatory. 2 for Fajr, 4 for Zuhr, 4 for Asr, 3 for maghreb and 4 for Isha. It does not take more than 20 minutes of your time but the help you will get through Salah is tremendous.
Allah's help come through prayer and by exercising patience, as Allah says in Quran:

وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ
“Seek help through patience and Salah; truly it is extremely difficult except for the humble true believers.” [Quran 2:45]

I pray to Allah to make it easy for you to establish Salah. Ameen! ​
