How do we preserve the prayers, especially the middle prayer, in accordance with the noble verse: "{Guard strictly the (five obligatory) prayers, especially the middle prayer; and stand before Allah with devotion}"?

Allah Almighty commanded the believers to preserve the five daily prayers in general, and the middle prayer in particular, which, according to the preponderant opinion, is the Asr prayer, because it is included among the prayers but was singled out for mention due to its eminence. Preserving the prayer means perpetuating it and assiduously performing it by continuing to do it and guarding against neglecting it or neglecting any part of it, and this is a command to the entire Ummah.
