Taken from my Elder Sister Forum

1) Establishing Salah Develops Taqwa (Fear and Awareness of Allah)
“This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guidance for those who have
Taqwa; who believe in the unseen, and who establish Salah, and spend out of
what we have provided for them”
(Surah Baqarah 2: 2-3)
2) Salah Is the Sign of a Believer.
“The
believers, men
and women, are protecting friends of one another; they enjoin good and
forbid evil, and they establish Salah, and give Zakah, and obey Allah
and His Messenger. Allah will have His Mercy on them, and surely, Allah
is All-Mighty, All-Wise.”
(Surah Tawba 9: 71)
3)
Establishing Salah Leads to Allah’s Eternal Blessings.
“So
whatever you have been given is but (a passing) enjoyment for this
worldly life, but that which is with Allah is better and more lasting
for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord. And those who
avoid the great sins and lewdness, and when they are angry, they
forgive. And those who answer the Call of their Lord, and perform the
Salah, and who conduct their affairs by mutual consultation, and who
spend of what We have bestowed on them.” (Surah Ash-Shura 42:36-38)

4) Those Who
Pray Shall Have Nothing to Fear on the Day of Judgment.
“Truly, those who
believe and do righteous deeds, and perform Salah, and give Zakah, they
will have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor
shall they grieve.”
(Surah Baqarah 2:277)
5)
Remain in
Allah’s remembrance after prayer.
“When have finished performing the Salah, remember Allah standing, sitting,
and reclining, but when you are free from danger, perform the Salah.
Surely, Salah is enjoined on the believers at fixed times.”
(Surah Nisaa 4:103)

(in worship)”

Command Regarding Punctuality of Prayer.
“Guard strictly the
Salah, especially the middle Salah. And stand before Allah with
obedience.”

Allah’s Help Comes Through Salah.

“Oh
you who believe!
When the call is made for the Salah on Friday, come to the remembrance
of Allah, and leave off business. That is better for you, if you only
knew! And when the Salah has ended, you may disperse through the land,
and seek the Bounty of Allah, and remember Allah much so that you may be
successful.”
(Surah Jumuah 62:09-10)

Shaytaan
Tries His Best in Finding Ways to Take You Away from Salah
“Shaytaan desires
only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants and
gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from Salah.
So will you then not abstain (from these evils)?”
(Surah Maeda 5:91)
11)
Prayer
Protects Against Evils.
“Recite
that which has been revealed to you of the Book, and perform Salah.
Verily, Salah prevents from lewdness and evils. And indeed, the
remembrance of Allah (by you) is greatest. And Allah knows what you
do.”
(Surah Ankaboot 29:45)
12)Friendship Should Be with Those Who Pray.
“Indeed, your
protecting friend (Wali) is none other than Allah, His Messenger, and
the Believers who establish Salah, and give Zakaat, and bow down (in

Allah’s
Special Order to Women.
“And stay
in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of
ignorance, and perform Salah, and give Zakah, and obey Allah and His
Messenger. Allah wishes only to remove uncleanness from you, Oh people
of the House, and to purify you with a thorough purification.”
(Surah
Ahzaab 33:33)
14)
Hypocrites
Are Lazy in Salah.
“Verily,
the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but it is He who deceives them;
When they stand up for Salah, they stand with laziness, only to be seen
by men; and they do not remember Allah but a little.”
(Surah Nisaa
4:142)
15)
Laziness in Salah Leads to Rejection of Sadaqah.
“And
nothing prevents their Sadaqah from being accepted from them, except that they
disbelieve in Allah and in His Messenger, and that they do not come to
Salah except in a lazy manner, and that they do not give Sadaqah except
unwillingly.”
(Surah Tawbah 9:54)

remain always)
turning to Him (only), and be fearful and dutiful towards Him, and
perform Salah and be not of those who commit Shirk.”

when Salah Was Left.
“Then,
there came after them a generation who gave up Salah and followed lusts; so
they will be thrown in Hell.”
(Surah Maryam 19: 59)
