The value of the prayer is so high and important, that’s why God has not made any exception in performing this act. God doesn’t want anyone to miss prayer’s deed and reward. God gives good deeds and benefits of prayer in this world and next world. Because of that like all nations before the prophetic mission were ordered to perform their prayer, Muslim nation (follower of the prophet (peace be upon him)) were ordered to offer their prayers too.
[1]“فَأَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ إِنَّ الصَّلاةَ كانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنينَ كِتاباً مَوْقُوتا”
Keep up prayer; surely prayer is a timed ordinance for the believer
[2]“وَ أَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَ آتُوا الزَّكاةَ وَ ارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعين ”
And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and bow down with those who bow down.
[3]“وَ أَنْ أَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَ اتَّقُوهُ وَ هُوَ الَّذي إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ”
And that you should keep up prayer and be careful of (your duty to) Him; and He it is to whom you shall be gathered.
[4]“حافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَواتِ وَ الصَّلاةِ الْوُسْطى وَ قُومُوا لِلَّهِ قانِتينَ”
Attend constantly to prayers and to the middle prayer and stand up truly obedient to Allah.
[5]“ِ فَأَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَ آتُوا الزَّكاةَ وَ اعْتَصِمُوا بِاللَّهِ هُوَ مَوْلاكُم ”
Therefore keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and hold fast by Allah; He is your Guardian
[6]“ُ وَ أَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَ آتُوا الزَّكاةَ وَ أَقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضاً حَسَناً”
And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and offer to Allah a goodly gift
These were some verses of Quran which had orders of Allah regarding prayer, and it shows the value of the payer how important it is.
Hopefully all Muslims men and women don’t miss prayer rewards, and when they leave this world, shouldn’t have any lack of prayer reward and good deeds.
