Remain Focused in Your Prayer, Make a Good Wudu, Perform Rukooʿ Well, Be Submissive and Aware, and Never Miss Fajr and ʿAsr

Messenger of Allah (salallāhu ʿalaihi wasallam) said:

“Allah, the Exalted, has made five prayers obligatory. If a person performs wudoo for them well, then prays them at their right time, and observes perfectly the bowing (rukooʿ) and submissiveness (khushooʿ) in them—it is the guarantee of Allah that He will forgive him. If a person does not do so, there is no guarantee for him from Allah, He may forgive him if He wills, or punish him if He wills.” (Abu Dawood, no. 425, saheeh – Al-Albāni)

The Messenger of Allah (salallāhu ʿalaihi wasallam) was asked: ‘Which of the actions is best?’ He replied: ‘Observing prayer early in its time.’ (Abu Dawood no. 426, saheeh – Al-Albāni)

The Messenger of Allah (salallāhu ʿalaihi wasallam) said: “No one will enter Hell who has prayed before the rising of the sun (i.e., Fajr) and before its setting (ʿAsr).” (Abu Dawood, no. 427, saheeh – Al-Albāni)
