Allah Almighty has given Muslims the gift of praying five times a day. Muslims should perform their prayers strictly and associate themselves with Allah and protect themselves from the misguidance of Satan. Every Muslim must pray five times a day, otherwise he will be punished on the Day of Resurrection.
