and also in the middle of the day, which is the noon prayer, and before midnight, which is the night prayer; as He has said: ﴿أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى غَسَقِ اللَّيْلِ وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ ۖ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا﴾[1]; “And perform prayer from the decline of the sun until the darkness of the night, and the recitation at dawn, for the recitation at dawn is witnessed,” and therefore, it is obligatory to preserve them at their times; as He has said: ﴿حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ﴾[2]; “Preserve the prayers and the middle prayer, and stand in true devotion to Allah,” and preserving them means always performing them and being humble in them; as He has said: ﴿الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ﴾[3]; “Those who always perform their prayers,” and said: ﴿الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ﴾[4]; “Those who are humble in their prayers,” and also avoiding laziness, hypocrisy, negligence, and oversight in them; as He has said: ﴿إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يُخَادِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَامُوا كُسَالَى يُرَاءُونَ النَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا﴾[5]; “Indeed, hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, while it is He Who deceives them, and when they stand up for prayer, they stand with laziness, showing off to people, and do not remember Allah but little,” and said: ﴿الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ﴾[6]; “Those who are heedless of their prayers,” and it is fundamentally based on bowing and prostrating; as Allah has commanded them and said: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ارْكَعُوا وَاسْجُدُوا وَاعْبُدُوا رَبَّكُمْ﴾[7]; “O you who believed! Bow down, prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord,” although it is also obligatory to recite the Quran in it as much as is easy; as Allah has commanded it and said: ﴿فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ﴾[8]; “Then recite the Quran as much as is easy, and perform prayer,” and it is obligatory to perform it in congregation if possible; as Allah has commanded it and said: ﴿وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ﴾[9]; “And bow down with those who bow down,”
