What should a Muslim young man do to persevere in prayer and avoid discontinuing it, especially after he stopped praying during adolescence and has repeatedly discontinued it since, in order to get rid of a recurring dream in which he sees a yellow snake that he cannot kill? And what is the correct interpretation of this dream?

Persevering in prayers on time with the congregation is among the most emphasized duties after the testimony of monotheism. Prayer is the first thing a servant will be questioned about; if it is righteous, all of his other deeds will be righteous and he will succeed, but if it is corrupt, all of his other deeds will be corrupt and he will fail. It is an aid for the servant in fulfilling his needs and in suppressing the soul from sins. Therefore, one must have a sincere resolve to maintain it, seek help from the company of the righteous, and frequently read books of encouragement and spiritual edification.
