One of the numerical miracle of the word Salah or Prayer
Muslim pray to bring themselves closer to Allah.
They pray to remind themselves constantly of God and his greatness.
Muslim pray because it is a duty to pray to Allah.
It is written in the Quran that they must pray.
There is no worship of a Sunday or Sabbath in Islam, all the days are worship days
Salah is performed in a prescribed form. It is preceded by ablutions (wudu). The five set prayers have special names and are performed at special times — between dawn and sunrise (Fajr) early after noon (Zuhr), mid-afternoon (‘Asr) sunset (Maghrib) and night (‘Isha’).
Salah consists of precise bodily postures — standing, bowing, prostrating and sitting. The posture of salah is an indication of man’s relation to his Creator — a relation of reverence submission and gratitude.

The five prayer consists of 2 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 4 = 17 Rakaat( units).
The word "Salah" occurs in all his different written forms 99 times. This number remember us of the 99 Names of Allah. We will see the numerical relation between the 2 words (Allah and Salah) attesting the relation of the man to his Creator through the Prayer.
Let 's look where occurs the 19th word "Salat" in the Quran.
Sura 4 -Verse 103 : When ye pass (Congregational) prayers, celebrate Allah's praises, standing, sitting down, or lying down on your sides; but when ye are free from danger, set up Regular Prayers: For such prayers are enjoined on believers at stated times. 19th
The first remark is that the 19th word "Salat" occurs in the 17th verse and this number is the total of 'rakaat' or units in the 5 dayly prayers.
