Imam Khomayni said:
Dear, you too, are to seize this opportunity for supplication, as available and according to the possible measure, and apply its cordial disciplines, informing your heart that the origin [mayah] of the eternal Hereafter life, the source of the spiritual virtues and the capital of the unlimited generosities are in the Proximity to and Intimacy with Allah, the Exalted, and in supplication to Him, especially in the Salat which is a spiritual mixture [ma'jun] prepared by the hand of Allah's Beauty and Majesty(that's FYI). It is the most comprehensive and perfect worship among all types of servitude. So, take care, at your best, to keep its times, and select its virtuous times, for in them is a sort of luminosity not found in other times.. (see "Adabus Salat" chapter "On Watching Over the Time")..
Now lets check some realities of shia faith.. i.e. are they real follower of ahle-bayt!! Or they only try to show it..??
Check out shia sources below:
Let me give you some tangible evidences:
In Nahjul-balagha this is what Ali
says about the times of prayer:
Letter 52:
"Lead the Zuhr prayer till the shadow of a wall becomes equal to the height of the wall and read the Asr prayer when the sun is still bright and enough time of the day is left for a person to cover a distance of six miles. The Maghrib prayers should be performed when people break their fasts and when Hajj pilgrims return from Arafat. And the time for Isha prayer is when the red glow of the even twilight disappears from the West, till one-third of the night is still left. The morning prayers are to be performed when there appears enough light of the dawn for a man to recognize the face of his companion."
Now the above is alomost the word by word meaning of the letter. Unfortunately like a number of other letters and sermons of Nahj. the translators in al-islam.org has added some words in their tranlsation without using any brackets:
"Lead the Zuhr prayer till the shadow of a wall becomes equal to the height of the wall, THE ASR PRAYERS CAN BE PERFORMED TILL till the sun is still bright and enough time of the day is left for a person to cover a distance of six miles. ...
In Sermon 198:
"Certainly, prayer drops out sins like the dropping of leaves (of trees), and removes them as ropes are removed from the necks of cattle. The Messenger of Allah - the peace and blessing of Allah he upon him and his descendants - likened it to a hot bath situated at the door of a person who bathes in it FIVE TIMES a day. Will then any dirt remain on him?"
Okay, perhaps one might think that all the above evidences are only my own understanding so let me give you a more tangible evidence:
Shia Encyclopedia:
"... We are allowed to pray noon and afternoon prayer one after another (without a lot of delay between the two). Similarly we are allowed to pray sunset prayer and night prayer one after another. Actually it is better to pray in their own specific time (close to what Sunnis do), but it is not necessary. ..."
cick here
Giving that prayer is one of the pillars of Islam, why Shia has completely aboundoned reading prayers in 5 times?
Why in Iran (the only Shia devoted country) only 3 times a day they say Azan and there is not even one single mosque there (unless it belongs to mainstream Muslims) where people read their prayers 5 times a day?
Why the followers of Ahlalbayt (actually everything but followers of ahlelbayt) are not observing the recommended way of prayer while 80% of Muslims (who according to Shia are all misguided) do observe this recommendation? (ahlussunna REAL followers of ahlelbayt)
Isn't this one of the cases of spoiling prayer that has been mentioned in Quran as one of the reasons that the people of the past have gone astray from the path of God?
Besides, even the Shia Ulama are of the view that it is mustahab to offer the prayers separately. So how come the Sunnis are doing the Mustahab action, while the Shias have gone for the less desirable practice, if the Sunnis are truly wrong
probably this sunnis follow the sunna of the "evil umayyads"
its really getting time to pray salat al jaza on your cult..
Now let check more sources of shia's:
1. Imam Abu Abdullah said that no one have right to delay pray for second time without good reason.
See At Tusi Istibsar vol 1, p 276-277
1003 - 14 وروى الحسين بن سعيد عن النضر وفضالة عن ابن سنان عن أبي عبدالله عليه
السلام قال: لكل صلاة وقتان وأول الوقتين أفضلهما ووقت صلاة الفجر حين ينشق الفجر إلى أن يتجلل الصبح السماء ولا ينبغي تأخير ذلك عمدا ولكنه وقت من شغل أو نسي أو سهى أو نام ووقت المغرب حين تحجب الشمس إلى ان تشتبك النجوم فليس لاحد ان يجعل آخر الوقتين وقتا إلا من عذر أو علة.

SO QUESTION: What kind of good reason could you find each day?
And how do you think, in the doomsday, will that be accepted as a good reason?
Why there're only 3 azans in shia mosques?
