Assalam alaykum,
Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that he heard Allah's Apostle, may Allah bless and grant him peace, saying:-- "IF THERE WAS A RIVER AT THE DOOR OF ANYONE OF YOU AND HE TOOK A BATH IN IT 5 TIMES A DAY, WOULD YOU NOTICE ANY DIRT ON HIM?" They said: "NOT A TRACE OF DIRT WOULD BE LEFT". The Prophet, peace be upon him, added, "THAT IS THE EXAMPLE OF THE 5 PRAYERS WITH WHICH ALLAH BLOTS OUT (annuls) EVIL DEEDS". [Bukhari, Book 10, Hadith No. 506].
In yet another Hadith, the Prophet, peace be upon him, was quoted saying:-- "THE FIRST MATTER THAT THE SLAVE WILL BE BROUGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT IS THE PRAYER. IF IT IS SOUND, THEN THE REST OF HIS DEEDS WILL BE SOUND. AND IF IT IS BAD, THEN THE REST OF HIS DEEDS WILL BE BAD". [At-Tabarani].
We must, therefore, mind our 5 daily prayers.... observe them on time, and preferably in congregation with other Muslims in the Masjid. The only distinguishing thing between us, Believers, and Munafiqs (hypocrites) is/are the 5 daily Prayers.
