The best provision a servant takes in this life

Question:
And may Allah bless you. This is a questioner for the program who sent this question, saying: Praise be to Allah and thanks. I am an employee and married, and I have two daughters, but I am negligent in my prayer and I am a sinner. I fear that death may overtake me in this state. Please guide me, Honorable Shaykh, to the best provision I can take in this life.

Answer:
The best provision in this life is performing the obligatory duties, and foremost among them after tawhid (the oneness of Allah) are the five daily prayers at their times and in congregation. So you must maintain them, for they are a pillar; they are the second pillar after the two testimonies among the pillars of Islam. They are the distinguishing factor between the Muslim and the disbeliever. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They are the pillar of Islam, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The head of the matter is Islam, and its pillar is prayer. The head of the matter is Islam, and its pillar is prayer, and its peak is jihad in the cause of Allah." It is the first thing for which the servant will be held accountable regarding his deeds. If it is accepted, the rest of his deeds will be accepted; if it is rejected, the rest of his deeds will be rejected. It is the pillar of Islam, and it is not permissible to be negligent in it. The one who is negligent in prayer has no religion; he has no Islam. Yes.
