Answer: What you mentioned about your keenness to pray is something commendable, and we ask Allah to increase you in it. Guarding the prayer is among the most important obligations, for the prayer is the pillar of Islam. Allah, exalted is He, says: “Guard strictly the prayers, and the middle prayer” (al-Baqarah 2:238). He also says: “And those who keep a guard over their prayers—such are the inheritors who will inherit Paradise; they will abide therein forever” (al-Muʾminūn 23:9-11). And He says: “Those who are constant in their prayer—they will be honoured in gardens” (al-Maʿārij 70:34-35).

Safeguarding the prayer is a sign of faith; whoever preserves his prayer preserves his religion. The first matter about which a servant will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection is his prayer. If that is in order, the rest of his religious affairs will likewise be sound.

To safeguard the prayer means to perform it at the times Allah has prescribed. He, the Most High, says: “Indeed, the prayer has been decreed upon the believers at fixed times” (al-Nisāʾ 4:103). Thus, one of the most critical aspects of guarding the prayer is to offer it within its appointed time, and among the deeds most beloved to Allah is performing the prayer punctually. A Muslim does not let any worldly occupation take precedence over his prayer, for prayer occupies first place in the believer’s life and its time is reserved; nothing else may encroach upon it. In praising the believers, Allah says: “Men whom neither trade nor sale distract from the remembrance of Allah, the establishment of prayer, and the giving of zakāh” (al-Nūr 24:37). And He says: “O you who have believed, when the call is made for the prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trading; that is better for you, if you only knew. Then, when the prayer has concluded, disperse through the land and seek of Allah’s bounty” (al-Jumuʿah 62:9-10).

Even in the most severe circumstances

لعدم صلاة الظهر والعصر، أفيدونا بارك الله فيكم. الجواب: أما ما ذكرت من محافظتك على الصلاة، فهذا شيء تشكر عليه، ونرجو الله ﷿ أن يزيدك منه، والمحافظة على الصلاة من أهم الواجبات؛ لأن الصلاة هي عمود الإسلام، والله جل وعلا يقول: ﴿حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى﴾ [البقرة: ٢٣٨] ، ويقول جل وعلا: ﴿وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْوَارِثُونَ الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ﴾ [المؤمنون: ٩-١١] ، ويقول جل وعلا: ﴿وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ أُولَئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُكْرَمُونَ﴾ [المعارج: ٣٤، ٣٥] ، والمحافظة على الصلاة علامة الإيمان، ومن حفظ صلاته، حفظ دينه، وأول ما يحاسب عنه العبد يوم القيامة صلاته، فإن وفى فيها فإنه يكون في بقية أمور دينه موفيًا ومحافظًا. المحافظة على الصلاة معناها: المحافظة على أدائها في أوقاتها التي شرعها الله تعالى، قال تعالى: ﴿إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَوْقُوتًا﴾ [النساء: ١٠٣] ، فمن أهم المحافظة على الصلاة أن تؤدى في مواقيتها، ومن أحب الأعمال إلى الله ﷾ الصلاة لوقتها، والمسلم لا يقدم على صلاته شيئًا من أعمال الدنيا؛ لأن الصلاة لها الصدارة في عمل المسلم، ووقتها محجوز، لا يجوز أن يشغل بغيره، قال تعالى في مدح المؤمنين: ﴿رِجَالٌ لَا تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَلَا بَيْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ﴾ [النور: ٣٧] ، وقال تعالى: ﴿يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَانْتَشِرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَابْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ﴾ [الجمعة: ٩، ١٠] ، وحتى في أشد الحالات على
