“Namaz” is one of the five most important pillars of Islam. It is the foremost duty of a Muslim to offer “Namaz” (prayer) five times a day. It is the distinguishing feature between a Muslim and a non-Muslim. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said “The first thing which a person shall be called to account for on the day of Judgement is Salat”. (Tirimzi).
Hazrat Ali (R.A) says "When i wish to talk to ALLAH, I offer NAMAZ (PRAYER), and when i wish that ALLAH talk to me, I recite HOLY QUR'AN.
