الصَّلَاةَ the prayer
This noun carries 'al-' (the) and is the thing the verb acts on, its direct object, which is why it takes the object (accusative) ending. Arabic shows 'who-did-what-to-whom' through these endings rather than word order, so the ending here is what flags it as the receiver of the abandoning.
