فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِكُمْ ۚ فَإِذَا اطْمَأْنَنتُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ ۚ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَّوْقُوتًا 103

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER (VERSE NO. 103)

      The prayer is so important a duty made incumbent upon the believers that even in the warfare it is not raised. After performing his reduced prayer in fear and danger, the warrior has to remember his Lord in his various condition of standing, sitting, or laying on his sides. It then implies that it is not fit for man to forget his Lord at any time even after his prayer. He has to celebrate the praise of God also in his rest and leisure; and during his working too, he should be hand in work and heart with God.

      Some people have objected saying: ``True, that the prayer is a useful deed both for body and soul, and a good means of connection and moving nearer to God; but why would it be performed in a stated time, and not in man's leisure?''

      Such people should know that in every phase of life, especially in educational, and spiritual training, order and discipline is a main factor, and an important principle.
