Before all things, set the priorities for prayer and other fard aspects that are the pillars of Islam. After the Tawheed pillar of Islam, prayers are the second pillar to follow. Prayers five times a day are obligatory for every Muslim and it has to be done even in illness by means to offer a pray through sitting or even lying down.
In Holy Qur’an, Allah (SWT) states that:
And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides. But when you become secure, re-establish [regular] prayer. Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.
Quran (4:103)
