What does it mean to perform deeds of worship on time and properly?

The Details of the Question

I have seen the answer of a question which is "questions comes in my mind and my heart is not satisfied " where it was said that perform worship timely and in decent manner. How should it be? Please explain in detail.

The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

Performing any deed of worship on time and in accordance with its conditions means fulfilling that deed of worship properly.

Worship appeals to both the apparent and esoteric faculties. For example:

Fasting is realized by abstaining from eating, drinking and sexual intercourse. It is appropriate according to the principles of the Shari’ah to perform prayers by praying on time and fulfilling the rituals specified in the books of fiqh, such as qira’ah, ruku, and sajda.

However, keeping away from hypocrisy, basing everything on Allah’s consent and focusing on worship with one’s mind, heart and intellect mean the servitude of the esoteric faculties.

It is pointed out in the Quran that true and real salvation cannot be attained without activating the centers of sincerity, awe, submission, meditation, contemplation and reasoning in accordance with the principle of tawhid. (see al-Muminun, 23/1-11)
