If you religiously go to work in time, go to school in time etc. Why not Pray ?

Peace
Most of us religiously follow man made rules. We go to school in time. We go to work in time. Doesn't matter if we want it or not. We got to the police when the police calls us to a meeting. We obey all of these authorities.
However when your Creator and the creator of everything including this reality, asks you to put your ego aside and pray to him 5 times a day at exact periods of time. We try to find our own truths and try to find a reason to not do it.
Well one of you will ask " Why does the most powerfull One need our prayers ?". The answer simple. Its all about testing of your faith and determination. How MUCH do you believe ? Will you obey orders and show self discipline ? Do you follow conjecture or God and Ultimate Truth?
There is so many clues in the Koran that shows Salaat it is indeed prayer. But I guess we rather enjoy our conjectures.
Please correct me if You belive Im wrong. However show proof and not only sweet talk of conjecture.
God knows the Best
May God forgive us for our conjectures and sweet talk.

Let me tell me you about my morning...
I woke up at 430am, I haven't set the alarm clock (my phone's battery is dead) but I just woke up and I took my time to awake. I then quickly made the ablution (quranic one) with cold water, read a chapter of the Quran (chapter 15, randomly picked), when I finished it I got my clothes on and rushed to the roof of the building. I contemplated the beautiful dark sky full of stars while thinking and praising God, then I prostrated and prayed. I went back to my room, got my breakfast and it's 6am now.
It surely was a blessed morning for me, I'm hoping it will be the case for the rest of the day. Note that I haven't felt "obligated" to do the prayer, I went for it, like if I needed it. Because I do.
While you're probably still farting in your bed waiting for 8 O'clock to rush your prayer and run to whatever business you have. I'm kiddin ;D Please let me know what you think is the appropriate way and time of prayer
By the way, sunrise is coming, I'm gonna go back to the roof. yay

Peace.
GOD gave us the freedom of choice.So people are free to choose.
GOD also sent us instructions through messengers to try us if we "hear and obey".
For those who "hear and obey" GOD has taught salat to Abraham and the instructions were passed on through the generations by a succession of messengers.
For those who want to follow their"own salat" they have that choice also.
GOD does not force anyone ,neither should we.
GOD bless.
Peace
