What is the way to persevere in prayer and overcome the problem of abandoning it, despite being diligent in other religious matters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Prayer is one of the greatest acts of worship; it is the pillar of religion and the distinguishing factor between disbelief and faith. Allah has warned those who abandon it of woe. It is the first thing a servant will be held accountable for on the Day of Judgment, and it brings peace and tranquility to the soul, and provides help during calamities. It is also one of the five pillars of Islam. Therefore, a Muslim woman must repent sincerely for neglecting prayer, associate with righteous women, attend religious lessons, frequently remember Allah, and recite the Quran. She should abandon everything that distracts her from prayer. Practical solutions can be summarized as: accurately knowing prayer times, dropping everything upon hearing the call to prayer (adhan), associating with righteous women, attending religious lessons and reading the biographies of the righteous predecessors, and frequently reciting the Quran, remembering Allah, and supplicating.
