He who diligently observes them will have a covenant with Allah that he will admit him into paradise, and he who doesn't diligently observe them will have no covenant with Allah; if He wills, He will torment him, and if He wills, He will (1) forgive him." 1. Therefore, the five prayers are mandatory upon every adult sane Muslim except for the menstruating woman or the one having postpartum bleeding.
