Historical Account
Then, in a Ḥadīth, the Holy Prophetsa states:
ِاَلدُّعَاءُ مُخُّ الْعِبَادَة
“Prayer is to worship as marrow is to the bone, which is as if the essence of the bone.”
[Sunanut-Tirmidhī, Kitābud-Da‘awāt, Ḥadīth No 3371]
Hence, worship which does not contain the element of prayer is nothing more than a dead corpse.
