Quran verses about Prayer (salah)

الصلاة

48 verses in 19 surahs · 26 subtopics

The obligation of prayer and the command to establish it dominate these verses, which also stress the responsibility of the head of the family for keeping it up. They speak of its effect on behaviour, the help sought through it, the humility that conditions its acceptance and dry ablution (tayammum) when ablution is impossible, and see neglecting it as a sign of hypocrisy.

An-Nisa4:101

وَإِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَقْصُرُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَن يَفْتِنَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ كَانُوا۟ لَكُمْ عَدُوًّا مُّبِينًا ۝١٠١

And when you travel throughout the land, there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer, [especially] if you fear that those who disbelieve may disrupt [or attack] you. Indeed, the disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy.
