Is it considered polytheism (shirk) to rush prayer because people are in a hurry?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The aforementioned haste in prayer is not polytheism (shirk), but it is impermissible if it violates the pillars or obligatory acts of prayer. One should strive to improve their prayer and attain humility therein. It is obligatory to beware of whispers (waswas) and not pay attention to them, as indulging in them leads to great evil.
