Prayers in Islam are one of the central elements of faith and the core of worship. The performance of prayers five times a day is considered vital to attain success in this life and the hereafter.

Muslims believe that the first matter that they will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayers. If it is sound, then the rest of their deeds will be sound.

Life, from an Islamic standpoint, is to be directed to God. Life is an opportunity for worship and the remembrance of God. Praying repeatedly throughout the day and interrupting the daily activities brings about the realization of this concept.

The believer, through prayers, acquires a spiritual awareness that he takes with him throughout all of his or her life.
