Dream - Praying is one of the worship commanded by Allah SWT. As humans, our life depends solely on Allah SWT. Therefore, it is a necessity to maintain a good relationship with Him, which is through prayer. Prayer serves as a medium for Muslims to communicate with Allah SWT and convey their hopes. However, it would be better to know the opportune time to pray.

Prayer is not just a request, but also a form of acknowledgment of human weakness and dependence on Allah. In the Islamic faith and monotheism, prayer plays an important role in strengthening faith and belief in Allah as the only worthy God to be worshiped. Prayer is also not only viewed from the perspective of practical jurisprudence, but also as a manifestation of Allah's love and care for His servants.

Prayer becomes a connection between humans and Allah because it is a means to seek help, mercy, and forgiveness from Him. Examples of prayers practiced by the Prophets in Islam include the prayer of Prophet Ibrahim when seeking protection for himself and his descendants, the prayer of Prophet Musa when seeking strength to face the oppressive people, and the prayer of Prophet Yunus when he was in the belly of the whale.

All of these prayer examples demonstrate the efficacy of prayer in facing all problems and difficulties. Thus, prayer is an integral part of a Muslim's life in maintaining a close relationship with Allah.

"If My servant asks you about Me, then (answer), indeed I am near. I respond to the supplication of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me, that they may be guided in the right way." A Hadith from Sahih Muslim also states the virtue of supplication, that "Supplication is the weapon of the believer, the pillar of religion, and the light of the heavens and the earth."

From here, we can see how important the recommendation of regular prayer is in the Islamic religion. Prayer is a way to seek help and draw closer to Allah. In the Qur'an, Allah also emphasizes that He is close to His servants who pray and He will grant their prayers. Hadith also confirms the virtue of prayer as the weapon of the believer and a pillar of the religion. Therefore, the recommendation of regular prayer from the Qur'an and Hadith is a very important action in Islam.

First, prayer is a form of obedience and dependence on Allah, which helps believers to always feel close to Him. Second, prayer can provide inner peace and tranquility, as well as reduce worries and anxieties. Third, prayer also helps strengthen the faith and belief of believers, so they are able to face trials with more perseverance. Fourth, prayer has the ability to improve difficult situations and circumstances, and provide a way out of the problems faced.

Finally, prayer is believed to be able to change fate and facilitate sustenance, because Allah is Most Compassionate and Most Merciful. According to Imam Khathabi, prayer is the most important form of worship and a means to draw closer to Allah. Meanwhile, Ibnu Qayyim defines prayer as a number of good things that are brought or later rejected based on Allah's guidance.

One of them is on Friday, which is considered the most important day of the week for Muslims. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once said that among the times when prayers are answered is on Friday before the Friday prayer is performed. In addition, there are other auspicious times such as when the call to prayer is announced, between the call to prayer and the start of the prayer, when it is raining, when a Muslim is on a journey, and in the last third of the night.

Besides that, also during breaking the fast, when meeting with long-separated family, and when someone who is oppressed is praying. However, the virtue of praying on Friday is very special because there is a special time for praying before the Friday prayer. As stated in the hadith narrated by Abu Daud: "Among the most effective days for praying is Friday, so increase your blessings upon me on that day."
