A lot of focus has been discussed in the knowledgeables of the Holy Qur’an, the Islamic practices, the advises of the Holy Prophet, the Blessings of Allah be upon him and his family and the A’immah of assistance, peace be upon them. It is like one of one of the most important commitments and task of a Muslim and as a result of this, it is taken into consideration that abandoning prayer is just one of the greatest of significant sins.
Just as it is necessary to leave the actions which decrease the importance of prayer and damage the presence of the heart, the prayer is not to be performed in the state of idleness, preserving urine, nor in a tumultuous setting. The worshipper should not stand before scenery which may ruin his (spiritual) view. (It is very important) to establish the actions which raise the reward of prayer. Consequently, dress in tidy apparel, brush the hair, clean the teeth, perfume oneself and wear a ring of ‘Aqeeq.
Prayer is the connection of man with Allah and brings about pureness of the heart, tidiness of the heart, achieves the spirit of holiness, trains man and makes him wary of sin and disobedience. From the narratives it is determined that prayer is the most important of worship. If prayers serve to Allah, He will accept the other kinds of worship besides prayer. When the prayer is rejected, worship other than prayer will likewise be rejected. The narration define that he who hopes the five (daily) prayers is purified from sin as if one bathes in a river each day and evening five times. Uncleanness is eliminated and no pollutant continues to be.

Another, is to avoid every one of the sorts of disobedience and sins which avoid the acceptance of prayer, like jealousy, conceit, backbiting, not paying Khums or Zakah, instead, every type of disobedience and sin.

Nonetheless, when the home’s owner has expressly refuted permission or we are aware of the lack of his approval beforehand, it is prohibited to make use of the land and prayer on this land is undesirable.
One should perform prayer in the beginning of its time and give importance to (promptness) and to avoid hastiness and entering prayer and to avoid whatever brings about the ruin and corruption of prayer. It has been narrated in a custom that the Holy Prophet, the Blessings of Allah be upon him and his family, saw a man someday in his Mosque praying without completing his Bowing and his compliance. Then, the Prophet, the Blessings of Allah be upon him and his family, claimed: He had died with this prayer, he would never have died with my faith.
It has been narrated relating to the scenarios of the Infallibles (Ma’soomeen), peace be upon them, that they were so absorbed in the remembrance of Allah in the state of prayer until they became unmindful of themselves whereas Ameerul-Mu’mineen (Imam Ali), peace be upon him, was struck in the leg with an arrow, then, they drew it from his leg in the state of prayer and he did not feel it, peace be upon him. That is because of his overall immersion in remembrance and prayer.
Presence of the heart is the spirit of prayer and it is necessary that the worshipper avoid all matters from his affairs that damage the attention (in prayer) and occupy the detects. (One should) recognize the meaning of the words of prayer and that attention is paid (to these words) in the state of prayer. ( namazi muslim should) to stand in prayer with humility and worry of Allah and know to Whom one is speaking with and to consider oneself as a very unimportant servant before the Lord with the view of the Almighty and Glorious.
