“I
am God. There is no god but Me. So serve Me, and perform regular prayers for my remembrance.” (20:14)
Perform the prayers at sunset, at nightfall and at dawn; the dawn prayer is witnessed. And pray for a part of the night, an additional duty for you; it may be that your Lord will raise you up to an honourable station. (17:78-79)
Be constant in praying at the beginning and the end of the day, and in the night too. Good deeds make amends for sins. That is a reminder for the mindful. Therefore have patience; God will not deny the righteous their reward. (11:114-115)
Be ever mindful of prayers, including the middle prayer. And stand obedient to God. (2:238)
And when you have performed the prayer, remember God, standing, sitting and lying down. Then, when you are secure, perform the prayer, for prayer is a duty incumbent on the faithful, to be observed at appointed hours. (4:103)
Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book, and perform the prayer; prayer prevents indecency and evil. God’s remembrance is greatest of all. And God knows what you do. (29:45)
