Importance of Offering the Five Daily Prayers On Time

Offering prayers is a fundamental practice and one of the five pillars of Islam. Each prayer is a short pause from our busy lives that helps nurture one’s spiritual soul. Not only this, but it also offers a chance to reconnect with the Almighty, share everything with Him and ask for his help in all matters. 

These moments of reflection help us keep grounded and provide balance and perspective throughout the day.
