Answer lies in following lines:

ihdinas Siratual Mustaqeem Siratual Lazeena An Amtaa Alaihim Ghairil Maghdoobe Alaihim Walad Dualleen"

Show us the straight way,The way of those whom you have blessed.Who have not deserved your anger,
Nor gone astray.

Question arises here that when we are seeking help from God to show right path then why we are unable to approach that right path?

No doubt namaz prevents oneself from committing sins but in recent scenario we are far away from the true spirit of worship. We used to offer namaz like show off, in order to call ourselves so called pious people or for the sake of performing a duty only without keeping in mind its pre-requisites and rules.
See when a muslim dont know what he/she is saying in namaz? Only few persons know the translation of the Arabic text of namaz.

Holy Prophet (SAW) is reported to have said:

“My joy has been made in prayer.” (Al-Waabil al-Sayib, 37).

Namaz urges "khzu-o-khushu", full attention then oneself can be familiar with inner satisfaction and spiritual joy that comes from performance of namaz in real sense.

Allah ham sab ko seedhay rastay per chalny kee taufeek day. (ameen)
