Muslim PerspectiveSalat, the formal Muslim prayer, is the criterion which distinguishes Muslims from non-Muslims. If you see a person offering salat, you may be certain that s/he is Muslim. Not praying is a serious sin. Additionally, Muslims who do not offer salat miss out on the many blessings of doing it. If Muslim notice that one of them is not offering salat, it is their responsibility to remind and encourage him or her to do it.Non-Muslim PerspectiveIf Muslims don't pray, they will have more time to do other stuff.

Yes, they can perform salat (praying) in one's mother tongue (or home) language or the language that he masters well, except for the 'Takbirat" of the start of salat that says 'ALLAHUAKBAR' and for Surat (chapter) 'Al-Faitha' that is to be said on each praying Rakaat. God is the All-Knowing. However, some recommend that Muslims should pray in Arabic, that is language of Koran, to help to create a cultural harmony in Muslims by at least using same language in praying.

It depends on how you define the start of the day. If you define according to your work and normal life conditions, then the first salat of the day is the Fajr Salat (at dawn and before the complete sunrise). If you define the start of the day per religion, then the day starts by sunset and the first salat is the Maghrib salat (at sunset and before the full disappearance of sun light).
