Explore the Quran's comprehensive guidance on prayer (Salah), the importance of establishing regular worship, and how prayer connects believers directly with Allah.
Prayer (Salah) is the second pillar of Islam and the most frequently mentioned act of worship in the Quran. It serves as a direct connection between the believer and Allah, mentioned over 700 times throughout the holy book, often alongside charity (Zakah).
The Quran emphasizes that prayer is not just a ritual, but a spiritual purification that prevents evil, brings peace to the heart, and serves as a source of guidance and strength in all aspects of life. It's described as the light of the believer.
وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ
"And establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow."
Al-Baqarah 2:43
إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ
"Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing."

"And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or lying on your sides."
An-Nisa 4:103
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
