Al-Qur’an on Salah1. Guard strictly (the five obligatory) As­Salawât­(the prayers) especially the middle Salât (i.e. the

'Asr). And stand before Allâh with obedience [and do not speak to others during the Salât­(prayers)]. Surah: Baqarah, Aya : 238

2. So, when the Qur'ân is recited, listen to it, and be silent that you may receive mercy. Surah: Al-Araf, Aya : 204

3. And during a part of the night (also), glorify His praises (i.e. Maghrib­and 'Isha­prayers), and (so likewise) after the prayers [As-Sunnah,­Nawâfil­-­optional­and­additional­prayers,­and­also­glorify,­praise­and­magnify­Allâh­-­Subhân­Allâh,­Alhamdu-lillâh,­Allâhu-Akbar]. Surah: Qaf, Aya: 40

4. O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salât (prayer) on the day of Friday (Jumu'ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allâh [Jumu'ah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salât (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing), that is better for you if you did but know! Surah: Al-Jumu’ah, Aya : 9

5. Recite (O Muhammad SAW) what has been revealed to you of the Book (the Qur'ân), and perform As-Salât (Iqamât­as­Salât). Verily, As-Salât (the prayer) prevents from Al-Fah′shâ' (i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) and Al-Munkar­(i.e. disbelief, polytheism, every kind of evil wicked deed, etc.) and the remembering (praising, etc.) of Allah (by you). Allâh (in front of the angels) is greater indeed [than your remembering (praising, etc.) Allâh in prayers, etc.]. And Allâh knows what you do. Surah : An-Qaboot, Aya : 45

6. Perform As­Salât (Iqamât-as-Salât) from mid-day till the darkness of the night (i.e. the Zuhr,­'Asr,­Maghrib,­and 'Ishâ'­prayers), and recite the Qur'ân in the early dawn (i.e. the morning prayer). Verily, the recitation of the Qur'ân in the early dawn is ever witnessed (attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night). Surah: Al-Isra, Aya : 78

7. So be patient (O Muhammad SAWS). Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true, and ask forgiveness for your fault, and glorify the praises of your Lord in the Ashi­(i.e. the time period after the midnoon till sunset) & in the Ibkâr­(i.e. the time period from early morning or sunrise till before mid-noon) [it is said that, that means the five compulsory congregational Salât­(prayers) or the 'Asr­and Fajr­prayers]. Surah: Al-Ghafir, Aya : 55

8. And perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night [i.e. the five compulsory Salât (prayers)]. Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins). That is a reminder (an advice) for the mindful (those who accept advice). Surah: Hud, Aya : 114

9. O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-Salât (the prayer). Truly! Allâh is with As-Sâbirin­(the patient ones, etc.). Surah: Baqara, Aya : 153

10. So when you have finished (from your occupation), then stand up for Allâh's worship (i.e. stand up for prayer). Surah: Al-Inshirah (Ash-Sharh), Aya : 7

11. Those who remember Allâh (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): "Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted be You above all, that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire. Surah: Al-Imran, Aya: 191

12. Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world. But the good righteous deeds [deeds of Allâh's obedience, performing compulsory Salah (prayers of five times), remembrance of Allâh with glorification, praises and thanks, good and nice talk, etc.], that last, are better with your Lord for rewards and better in respect of hope. Surah: Al-Kahf, Aya: 46

13. Verily, your Lord Knows that, you do stand (to pray at night) a little less than two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so do a party of those with you, And Allâh measures the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to pray the whole night, so He has turned to you (in mercy). So, recite the Qur'ân as much as may be easy for you. He knows that there will be some among you sick, others traveling through the land, seeking of Allâh's Bounty; yet others fighting in Allâh's Cause. So recite as

much of the Qur'ân as may be easy (for you), and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât) and give Zakât, and lend to Allâh a goodly loan, and whatever good you send before you for yourselves, (i.e. Nawâfil non-obligatory acts of worship: prayers, charity, fasting, Hajj and 'Umrah, etc.), you will certainly find it with Allâh, better and greater in reward. And seek Forgiveness of Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful. Surah: Muzzzamil, Aya : 20

14. So bear patiently (O Muhammad SAWS) what they say, and glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting, and during some of the hours of the night, and at the sides of the day (an indication for the five compulsory congregational prayers), that you may become pleased with the reward which Allâh shall give you. Surah: Ta-Ha, Aya : 130
