Salah

Salah, Salat, Salaat, Prayer or Namaz
Salah, also called namaz or salat or prayer, is a ritual of physical and spiritual purification, consisting of a series of prescribed actions and recitations. Performing Salah five times daily is compulsory for all Muslims past puberty, which is the age of legal responsibility.
In the sight of Allah (SWT), salaat has a very great distinction. No other act of ibaadah is dearer to Allah than salaat. There is a great reward in offering salaat and a great sin in omitting it. It is mentioned in a Hadith that the one who performs his wudu properly and offers his salaat with full concentration; then on the day of resurrection Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) will forgive all his minor sins and grant him paradise.
Rasulullah (ﷺ) is reported to have said: "Salaat is a pillar of Deen - the one who has offered his salaat in a proper manner has upheld Deen, and the one who has demolished this pillar (i.e. did not offer his salaat), has in fact destroyed the Deen. Rasulullah (ﷺ) has also said: "The first thing to be reckoned on the day of resurrection will be salaat. The hands, feet, and face of those who used to offer their salaat regularly will shine like the sun on the day of resurrection. As for those who did not offer their salaat, they will be deprived of this blessing."
