Pray regularly with sincerity and devotion

This hadith speaks about the importance of prayer and how it is a form of charity from Allah. It was narrated by Ya'la bin Umayyah that he asked Umar bin al-Khattab why people were shortening their prayers even though there was no fear of attack. Umar said he had the same question and asked the Messenger of Allah who replied that it was a charity from Allah which should be accepted. This teaches us that prayer should not be taken lightly or shortened just because there is no fear or danger present; rather we should continue to pray as it is an act of worship for which we will be rewarded by God. We must also remember that prayer can bring us closer to God and help us stay on the right path in life so we must make sure to perform our prayers regularly with sincerity and devotion in order to reap its benefits.
