Quran 4:103

When the prayers are over, remember Allah—whether you are standing, sitting, or lying down. But when you are secure (from fighting with the disbelievers), establish regular prayers. Indeed, performing prayers is a duty on the believers at the appointed times. Quran 4 : 103 Surah an-Nisa` (Women)
An-Nisa’ (Arabic: ٱلنساء, An-Nisāʾ; meaning: The Women) is the fourth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 176 verses (āyāt).
The title derives from the numerous references to women throughout the chapter, including verse 34 and verses 127-130.

فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِكُمْ فَإِذَا اطْمَأْنَنتُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَّوْقُوتً
According to many scholars, the Surah was revealed after the Battle of Uhud, which left 70 of the Muslims killed.
This situation brought about the need to address issues such as inheritance left by those killed etc.
Hence in Surah an-Nisa, Allah Almighty address issues such as dealing with orphans [including children of those killed at Uhud] and inheritance.
پھر جب تم نماز تمام کرچکو تو کھڑے اور بیٹھے اور لیٹے (ہر حالت میں) خدا کو یاد کرو پھر جب خوف جاتا رہے تو (اس طرح سے) نماز پڑھو (جس طرح امن کی حالت میں پڑھتے ہو) بےشک نماز کا مومنوں پر اوقات (مقررہ) میں ادا کرنا فرض ہے

Quran 24:36~38

˹That light shines˺ through houses ˹of worship˺ which Allah has ordered to be raised, and where His Name is mentioned. He is glorified there morning and evening by men who are not distracted—either by buying or selling— from Allah’s remembrance, or performing prayer, or paying alms-tax. They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will tremble, ˹hoping˺ that Allah may reward them according to the best of their deeds, and increase them out of His grace. And Allah provides for whoever He wills without limit. Quran 24:36~38
