Peace be upon you brothers!
How are you brothers? How did you live the Ramadan and how helped you Allah this Ramadan?
Everybody can leave here his opinion and his experience from this year.
I will start. This is my first Ramadan! I embraced Islam this year. This Ramadan i learned the importance of the prayer. I didn´t understand why a muslim has to pray 5 times a day....I thought that it´s a dogma created of the humans, like the church has a lot of dogmas that are not in the Byble. So Allah iluminate me reading the Quran. All my answer and all the answers of our question are in the Quran:
The moments of the prayer:
´´So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied. ´´(sura 20,verse130)
Allah don´t ask us difficult things:
´´And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness. (sura20,verse132)
Allah advising us to pray:
´´Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.´´ (sura20 verse14)
´´And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.´´ (Sura 51 v 56)
´´O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.´´ (sura2, 153)
The succes and the reward of who pray:
¨´He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself (14) And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.´´ (sura 87,15)
´´But those who hold fast to the Book and establish prayer - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of the reformers. Sura(7,170)
Prayer prohibits immorality:
´´Recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do. ´´Sura (29,45)
The warnings that Allah give us to those who leave, who abandon the prayer:
´´And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind." (sura 20, 124)
The comparison between the one who pray and the one who don´t pray:
´´Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.´´ Sura (39,9)
´´indeed, Allah is not satisfied with a defiantly disobedient people.´´(sura 9, 96)
I hope i didn´t bored you brothers.

Allah is the Greatest.
