Offer prayers five times a day

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was approached by a delegation from Thaqif who asked for certain concessions in their religious practice. They requested not to be called upon to participate in jihad, pay zakat, or offer prayer. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) granted them the concession of not participating in jihad and paying zakat, but he made it clear that there is no good in a religion without prayer. This hadith teaches us that prayer is an essential part of our faith and should not be neglected or taken lightly. It also shows us how merciful and understanding the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was towards those who sought his guidance and help. He was willing to make concessions when necessary while still upholding the core values of Islam such as offering prayers five times a day.
