A Warning About Not Praying

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatallah Wa Barakatu

What has been narrated from Allah and from His Messenger concerning the punishment of the one who does not pray is sufficient.

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, As‑Salaah (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours” [al-Nisa’ 4:103]

And Allaah says of the people of Hell (interpretation of the meaning):

“‘What has caused you to enter Hell?’

They will say: ‘We were not of those who used to offer the Salaah (prayers)’” [al-Muddaththir 74:42-43]

and He mentioned among their attributes the fact that they did not pray.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“The covenant that stands between us and them is prayer; whoever gives up prayer is a kaafir.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2621; al-Nasaa’i, 431; Ibn Maajah, 1079. classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 2113.

And there are other verses and ahaadeeth which speak of giving up prayer, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) described it as kufr.

Editors Note: The way we pray as Muslimeen provides unity in the Ummah, Self-perseverence in our souls, and the distiguishing traits between a Muslim and a nonMuslim..plus it's the time where Allah will really answer you when you sincerly pray from your heart subhanallah. Don't complain when your life isn't going the way it is. If you play your part right, Allah will definately play his.

"O Allah! What did he find who found You?

And what did he lose who lost You?"

The one who found Allah has found EVERYTHING.

And the one who loses Allah has lost EVERYTHING.

Fi aman Allah
