The Virtues Of Prayer

Salaat (Prayer)  performed genuinely with humility and submission to "Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala" has unlimited virtues and benefits. 

It is the noblest expression of faith and the surest way of thanking "Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala" for His unlimited favours. 

It is the way to obtaining Allah's mercy, generosity, kindness, blessings and a sure way to paradise. "Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala says in the Holy Qur'an:

"Prosperous indeed are the believers who are humble in their prayers." (Qur'an 23: 1-2 )

It is a deliverance on the day of judgement for those who used to observe it well. 

The Prophet Salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam says:
"It is the first thing that the servant of "Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala" will be called to account for on the day of judgement will be the prayer; and if it was good the person's deeds will have been good,but it if it was bad, the person 's deeds will have been bad."(Reported by Imam Bukhari)

Prayers purified the soul, refines the character and inculcates in man the excellent virtues of truthfulness, honesty and modesty. 

It keeps one who perform it from falsehood and from all forbidden actions as is categorically confirmed by the following verse of the Holy Qur'an:

"Verily, prayer refrains from indecency and evil." (Qur'an 29:45)
