أُمَّتِكَ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ وَ عَهِدتُ عِنْدِي عَهْداً أَنَّهُ مَنْ
حَافَظَ عَلَيْهِنَّ لِوَقْـتِهَا أَدْخَلْـتُهُ الْجَـنَّةَ وَ مَنْ
لَمْ يُحَافِظْ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَلاَ عَهْدَ لَهُ عِنْدِي.

 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his progeny) states that
Allah, The Exalted has said: “I have made the five prayers obligatory
upon your Ummah and have made a covenant with Myself that one who
maintains his prayers with respect to their timings, I shall place him
in Paradise.  As for the one, who does not maintain the timings, I have
no covenant (with him).”** **
