The Importance of Prayer & the Ruling of the one who Abandons it
Punishment for Apostasy in Islam
The apostate is not to be put to death immediately after he falls into apostasy, especially if has doubts. Rather he should be asked to repent and be offered the opportunity to return to Islam and resolve his doubts, if any. If he persists in his apostasy after that, he is to be put to death.174,941Status of Prayer in Islam
The status of prayer in Islam is indicated by the following: 1- Prayer is the pillar of the religion, which cannot stand without it; 2- Prayer is second in status to the Shahadatayn; 3- Prayer occupies a special position because of the way in which it was enjoined; 4- Allah erases sins by means of prayer; 5- Prayer is the last part of religion to be lost, and if it is lost, the whole religion is lost; and 6- Prayer is the first thing for which a person will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection.65,694Is Fasting Without Praying Accepted?

How Was Prayer Enjoined?
On the night of the Mi`raj, Allah enjoined fifty prayers to be performed night and day. Then the Prophet kept asking Allah to reduce it until it became five prayers to be offered night and day. But Allah decreed the reward of fifty prayers for these five, so whoever prays five prayers will receive the reward of fifty prayers.88,934- 9,735
