When the prayers are over, remember Allah—whether you are standing, sitting, or lying down. But when you are secure, establish regular prayers. Indeed, performing prayers is a duty on the believers at the appointed times.

(4:142) Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allah except a little.

(4:143) Wavering between them, [belonging] neither to these [believers] nor to those [disbelievers]. And whoever Allah leaves astray—never will you find for him a way.

"But those firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what has been revealed to you [O Prophet] and what was revealed before you. And those who establish prayer and give zakah and believe in Allah and the Last Day—those We will give a great reward."

"O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows and wipe over your heads and [wash] your feet up to the ankles. And if you are in a state of major impurity, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the restroom or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful."

"And certainly did Allah take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and We appointed among them twelve leaders. And Allah said, ‘I am with you. If you establish prayer and give zakah and believe in My messengers and support them and lend to Allah a good loan, I will surely remove from you your misdeeds and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow. But whoever among you disbelieves after that has certainly strayed from the sound way.’"

"Your ally is none but Allah and His Messenger and those who have believed - those who establish prayer and give zakah while they bow [in worship]."

"And when you call to prayer, they take it in ridicule and amusement. That is because they are a people who do not understand."

"Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So will you not desist?"

"O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He does not like those who commit excess."

"And what prevents their expenditures from being accepted from them but that they have disbelieved in Allah and in His Messenger, and they do not come to prayer except while they are lazy, and they do not spend except while they are unwilling."
