The regulation of praying at certain set times is not just a random idea. The whole idea is to fill one’s day with the remembrance of Allah.. Some new Muslims say that they lead very busy lives and ask if it is OK to say all the five prayers together in the evening when they have more time. It is precisely because we live busy lives that we must pray at certain times. By praying at these set times we give a routine of prayer to our day. We wake up thinking of Allah and we spend the day interrupting all of our day to day activities to think of Him again.
Salah leads us to become devout and righteous. And the requirement is that is should be prayed a minimum of 5 times a day. Just like we eat 3 times a day to keep healthy, we are required to pray 5 times a day to keep our spiritual soul healthy. Every time Muslims pray Salah, they remind themselves of Allah (swt). If people are constantly reminded of Allah, they are more likely to remain on the straight path and constantly be doing good. For this reason, we are required to pray Salah at a minimum of 5 times a day.
