The first of his deeds, for which a man will be taken to account on the Day of Resurrection, will be his Salaat (Prayer)

Salaat                                                                                             177

made fasting obligatory for you, and I have made Salaat a Sunnah at night. So, whoever fasts in Ramadaan and offers this Salaat at night, with firm belief in the promise of Allaah, seeking only to please Him, and hoping for reward, he will be cleansed from his sins like the day his mother gave birth to him. (Ibne Maajah)

145.  Abu Faatima Al-Azdi RadiyAllaahu 'anhu narrates that Nabi SallAllaahu 'alaihi wasallam said to me: O Abu Faatima! If you desire to meet me (in the Hereafter), then prostrate frequently (offer Salaat frequently). (Musnad Ahmad)

146.  Abu Hurairah RadiyAllaahu 'anhu narrates: I heard RasuulUllah SallAllaahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: The first of his deeds, for which a man will be taken to account on the Day of Resurrection, will be his Salaat. If it is sound, he will be saved and successful; but if it is defective, he will be unfortunate and miserable. If any deficiency is found in his (obligatory) Salaat, Allaah 'Azza wa Jall will say: "Look at My slave, whether he has any Nafl Salaat, so that what is lacking in the (obligatory) Salaat may be made up by it." Then the rest of his actions Saum, Zakat etc. will also be dealt within a similar manner. (Tirmidhi)
