Prayer in Islam has a great importance, this can proved by the following:

It is the second element of Islam.

It is the first thing to be asked about on the day of resurrection.

It is a distinguishing sign for pious believers.

This who preserves prayer preserves his religion, and this who abandons it loses his religion.

Islam is in man’s heart as far as prayer is in his heart and his share in Islam equals his share of prayer.

It is a sign of loving Allah and appreciating His Blessings.

Allah The Almighty ordered us to preserve it whether we are traveling or staying, during war and peace and whether we are ill or healthy.

Texts declare that who abandons prayer is a disbeliever.
