Offering the prayer secures the beleiver against the horrors of the Hereafter.

Those who maintain the prayer have a great reward, and in the Hereafter they will not fear, nor will they grief over what they have left of the worldly joys.

{ Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds and establish prayer and give zakāh will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. }

Quran ( 227 : 2 )
