Islam has divided time into different time slots, giving values to some than others. For example, the era of our Prophet Muhammad (saw) was the best era this world will ever see, this era is followed by the Ta’bi’in, where the Quran-i Azimusshan and Hadith explain fondly of them. The month of Ramadan is the most valued month in a year, and the night of Layla’t-ul’Qadr is the most valued night in the month of Ramadan. Jummah is the best day of the week, and in the day of Jummah there is an hour where Allah (swt) does not turn away any prayers made. And in everyday the very beginning of the time slot of Sehri and the very beginning of the time slot for Salah are the most valued times of the day.
Salah is the most excellent prayer one can do and Islam without Salah is not thinkable. One cannot seperate hotness from fire, nor can one seperate Salah from a Muslim. Like that it is a must that the sun rises for daylight , for a person to consider himself as a Muslim, as well doing all the necessary deeds, they must pray Salah, and the best way would be, to pray on time.
When asked to our Prophet Muhammed (saw), which Ibadah is the best in virtue, He (saw) replied “to pray Salah on time”. Abdul Malik Bin Abu Mahzure explains he heard the following from Rasulullah (saw),
“A person will gain Allah’s blessing if he prays Salah in the very beginning of its time slot, he will gain Allah’s mercy if he prays in the middle of the time period, and will only gain Allah’s forgiveness if he prays at the end of the time slot”

If a person prays Salah at the end of the time slot, Allah would only forgive them for praying the Salah in its time period, however they will miss out on Allah’s (swt) blessings and mercy. If a person delays their prayer, it is only because the shaytan is tricking them, or that they are following their nafs, unless they have an acceptable reason for the delay. We must not forget that the duty of shaytan and nafs is to prevent Muslims from praying to Allah (swt) and to make us fall for this Dunya.
In a Hadith our Prophet (saw) says
“It is the job the shaytan to delay your duties to Allah”, in another Hadith, our Prophet (saw) says “Those who delay will perish”
Salah is an ibadah, between Allah (swt) and the servant, for the servant to show to his Creator how much he is in need of Allah (swt), and hence, this is only possible via a sincere, obedient prayer to be prayed on time with wiseness and piousness.
Praying Salah in the very beginning of its time slot, will enable one to gain the blessings of Allah (swt), this is because a Muslim rushes to pray on time without any delay. This shows the servant’s piousness and his seriousness towards his obedience to Allah (swt), and shows the understanding that the very important part of his life is to pray.
A Muslim in search for the forgiveness, mercy and blessings of Allah (swt) must do his daily prayers, fast in Ramadan and must give zakat on time. What we do now in this world, is what we will rely on tomorrow, so we as Muslims, must be wise and pious in whatever we do and we must do it for the sake of Allah (swt) only.
