My strong recommendation is first, to perform prayers at the beginning of their prescribed times, and second, to strive to maintain focus and presence of heart [during prayers]. The worshipper should remember that they are speaking to the Owner of the entire universe and the Master of the Day of Resurrection. Prayer that has these two features will affect the heart and soul of the worshipper and also their actions as individuals and in society.
