Namaz ( Worship ).
The compact sense of (worship, prayer) is to mould one’s life according to the will of Allah and His Rasul, and to cast in the pattern of the Islamic religious orders, for which Islam has given us a regulated system of worship for the sake of spiritual bliss and moral development, sanctification and purification of the individuals and welfare of the whole nation.
The most important of all the five pillars of "Din" is Namaz, which is at the top of all sorts of Islamic worships, Namaz is called (Al-Salat) in Arabic, that means (Dua) (invocation) (Rehmat) (mercy) (Astafaar) (craving forgiveness of Allah) (Tasbeeh) (uttering praises of Allah) etc. Namaz includes all these things.
Namaz was included in the religions of almost all prophets. Quran-e-Majid mentions existence of Namaz in the religion of some of the prophets. Quran-e-Majid has mentioned Namaz at about 100 places. Laying emphasis on its establishment.
When a man prostrates before Allah, his head naturally bows down before Him. But it is better that his heart and mind, rather his whole body also prostrates before Allah. One of the Ahadith reveals that
Rasul-I-Akram (SAW) one night when he was in prostrated condition was entreating Allah, "O my Allah, see that not only my body but soul is also in prostrations before you."
This is the peak of worship. The Namaz with full devotion fills the heart with the illumination of holy light of Iman, and dispels the darkness of sins, so that human nature becomes averse to sin.
Allah says in the Holy Quran: -
Namaz preserves from shameful and unjust act.
(Suratal-Ankaboot Ayat no. 45)
In traditions also it is found that our respected Prophet has highlighted the importance of Namaz on various occasions. The prophet has said:

- Namaz is the pillar of Din (Religion). The man, who has upheld it, has actually upheld the Din, and the man who demolished it has actually demolished the din.
- The man, who deliberately gave up Namaz, has adopted the road to disbelief.
Some Preachers said and In other words we can also say that Namaz is the meeting to Allah.

- Namaz-e-Fajr.
- Namaz-e-Zouhar.
- Namaz-e-Asar.
- Namaz-e-Maghrib.
- Namaz-e-Iesha.
