The importance of prayer
I saw this in someone's personal journals and wanted to share it with the village. Hopefully, it is just me 'preaching to the choir':
-------------
The result of not performing daily salat:
The Ramadaan fast, and indeed any righteous deed, is not accepted if you do not pray. That is because not praying constitutes kufr as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Between a man and shirk and kufr there stands his giving up prayer." Narrated by Muslim, 82.
No righteous deed is accepted from the kaafir, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And We shall turn to whatever deeds they (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners) did, and We shall make such deeds as scattered floating particles of dust"
"If you join others in worship with Allaah, (then) surely, (all) your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers."
Al-Bukhaari narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever forsakes Asr prayer, his deeds are in vain. (al-Bukhaari, 553).
What is meant by his deeds are in vain means that they become invalid and will not avail him anything.
This hadith indicates that in the case of one who does not pray, Allaah will not accept any deed from him, so the one who does not pray will not benefit at all from his deeds, and no good deeds of his will ascend to Allaah.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said concerning the meaning of this hadith: The apparent meaning of this hadith is that those who do not pray are of two types:
(1) Those who do not pray at all, which renders all of their deeds invalid and,
(2) Those who do not pray some days, which renders his deeds on that day invalid.
So the loss of all good deeds happens to those who do not pray at all, and the loss of some deeds happens to those who miss some prayers. (From Kitaab al-Salaah, p. 65).
And Allah (swt) knows best.
