The Prophet, peace be upon, said:
"The first thing that the servant will brought to account for on the Day of Resurrection from his actions will be the Prayer. Our Lord will say to His angels, and He knows best, 'Look at My servant's Prayer, did he complete it or was it deficient?' If it is complete, then it will be recorded as complete. However, if there is any deficiency in it He will say, 'Look and see whether my slave performed any supererogatory Prayers.' If he does have supererogatory Prayers, He will say, 'Complete the obligatory Prayers of My servant from his supererogatory Prayers.' Then the rest of his deeds will be judged in a similar fashion." Saheeh Sunan Abu Dawud (no. 864)
In this book, Al-Allamah Muhammad ibn Salih Al-Uthaimin explains a number of vital issues related to the prayer in a very simple and comprehensive fashion. Not only does the Shaikh clarify the description of the Prayer, but he also expounds on finer details such as the meaning of the legislated supplications and remembrance articulated in the Prayer, which is highly beneficial to every Muslim, especially the English reader. This treatise provides the reader with accurate information based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah, so that the Muslim can actualize the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): “Pray as you have seen me pray.”
