Assalamu aleikum,
Closeness to Allah, SWT is at all times. A Muslim remembers Him constantly, during everything we do, BEFORE we do something. Not only when we are about to eat or go to sleep, but ALL the time. He is 'on our mind' during all the time we are awake. And that assures closeness to Him.
And restrains from straying away from Him.
But prayer time is an excellent time to FULLY have ONLY Him in mind. Everything else has to wait, to stand back.
The time zones mentioned here in a post are interesting. Because this way there are Muslims that constantly worship Allah, SWT. All hours no matter what hour one might have. Masha'Allah!
''Then do ye remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and reject not Faith.'' The Qur'an 2:154
Wasalam
