The purpose of prayers?
when we pray 5 times a day, is the purpose of prayers to get rewards from Allah in the after life, this life or both?.

Re: The purpose of prayers?
To obtain nearness with our Lord (exalted and glorified is He) and to be thankful servants.
Allah (azza wajal) loves those who are thankful. Wassalaam

The gain for ourselves is secondary, not primary, so I don't think it's right to call reward the "purpose" of anything we do in the way of Islam.

Allah only created the jinn and humans to worship Him.
That doesnt mean you don't do anything else other than pray, you just ask Allah to put blessings in whatever you do in your life.

...as per "time frame" (dunyaa-this life, aakhira-afterlife or both)... that's up to God, no? Do bad, earn bad, do good, earn good... reap what's sown... be ever mindful of God for He [Alone] sees-KNOWS-the truer intention at the heart of the matter. 'aalaykum assalaamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh
