The Muslim observes his Prayers to show devotion and obedience to Allah, because Prayer is one of the greatest forms of worship that Allah likes His servants to offer.
To thank Him for creating us in the best form of creation.
Because He has guided us to the Deen (Complete way of Life, Religion) of Islam.
Prayer is a chance for a Muslim to express to his Lord whatever he feels and needs through Divine Words of Allah i.e. the Qur'an.
To remember his Lord and not forget His commands amid life's pre-occupations.
To ask Allah, The Exalted, to give him aid and continuous guidance in the darkness of life.
To strengthen love and fear of Allah in the Muslim's heart so that he might remain sticking to the Right Path of Islam, and its laws and manners.
Gaining good rewards from Allah and having our sins forgiven.
To rejoice when he finds himself on the Last Day pleased with the great reward allotted to him in the Gardens of Bliss.
Prayer is a unique training and developmental program which, if well and devotedly performed, can achieve for Muslims many valuable physical, ethical and spiritual gains such as cleanliness, health, order, punctuality, brotherhood, equality, social consolidation,… etc.

Muslim claims that the number of prayers was 50 per day ,but the prophet requested God to reduce the number to 5.
I believe as there is no direct contact between God and man thus the number is 5 even now. If there had been any contact the one could request God to reduce the number to Once a week due to the over load of work in this era.

The Quran demands 5 times a day. Supposedly Muhammad negotiated with God to knock it down from 50 prayers to 5 daily.
Christians pray at least 4 times a day. Each time before they eat and at night at bedtime.

because Allah(god)(s.w.t) ask us to do , and we most obey him and take all the religion teaching in our life every day and every minute .
we are the slaves of the god and we most get more closer to him by praying many times in the day to remember that u most never forget the grace and blessing of the god and be thankful that we are Muslims . its also gives u more faith and relief .
its not a religion whose some people remember it in only one day and take what they like from it and leave the rest.

~~ As with ALL organized Religions there must be Rules & Regulations to keep The Congregation both Orderly and Subserviant. This is what is known as Dogma.
