Islam is based on five pillars. After kalma Toheed the 2nd pillar is Namaz. Allah has bound every Muslim to pray five times a day. Praying is the act of communicating to Allah the almighty. When we stand for prayers, we believe we are standing in front of Allah. If we pray properly, it will Insha Allah save us from all wrong-doings.

            Besides its obligations "Farziat" it is a physical exercise. Praying five times a day refreshes our Imam, it strengthens our imam. The five times Namaz are Fajir we offer before sunrise to thank Allah for the new day, Zuhr we pray afternoon to thank him for the day, Asr we pray in the evening, Magrib we pray after sunset and Esha we pray at early night to thank Allah for the entire day.

            In Namaz, it is obligatory to be pure and clean. The clothes, the place where we pray must be pure too. Every Namaz is performed on its time with its particular rakath. It is more virtuous for the Male to offer their Namaz with the group in congregational prayer in Masjid.

             Mohamed peace be upon him said, Namaz is the coolness of my eyes, and Namaz is the key of Jannat. On the day of judgment, the first thing is asked would be Namaz, if one Namaz is good, his every acts would remain good.

             So we must offer our Namaz in a good manner in their particular time, so should not miss our Namaz for the worldly activities, we should prepare for the world hereafter.
