Salah is so important

Salah is so important in a Muslim's life.

It is one of the five pillars of Islam
When the prophet (PBUH) was asked to describe Islam, he chose five things to describe Islam with. The first and the foremost, of course, is Shahada: bearing witness that there is no god but God and Muhammad is his messenger. The second this was 'establishing Salah.' The prophet also said that Islam, this comprehensive way of life was built on top of five, these are the five pillars of Islam. The second thing was Salah.

It is the first deed that we will be asked about at the Day of Judgment
"The first thing the person will be asked about from his deeds is Salah"
"What admitted you to the Hellfire?" The people of Paradise is asking people of the Hell. "We have not been with those who do Salah ..." They responded

It is the last advice of the prophet before he died

"Salah and what your hands have possessed"

It is what distinguish the believers
"The difference between us and them is Salah" said the Prophet.
