8/22/2019 Abandonment of the Prayer
1/1
Abandonment of the Prayer : -
A collection of evidences regarding the apostasy of the one who
intentionally abandonssalaah.
Then there succeeded them a posterity who have neglected the salaah
and have followed lusts, so they will be thrown in hell. Except
those who repent and believe and
work righteousness, such will enter paradise and will not be
wronged.
The prayer, dear reader is a very important pillar of Islaam. In an
authentic narration, the Prophet (sallaalahualayhi wa sallam) told
us that this very prayer will be the thing which we wil be brought
to account for firstly on the Day of Resurrection, saying: "If it
is good then he will be successful,
and if not will be a loser."
There is an abundance of benefit in the prayer as Allaah
says:
"Succesful indeed are the believers, those who offer their prayers
with khushoo (humility, solemnity)" [Sooratul-Muminoon,
23:1-2]
He the Most High also says:
"And those who guard their prayers well, such shall dwell in the
gardens
(paradise), honoured." [Sooratul-Maarij, 70:34,35]
At the same time the one who doesnt pray runs the risk of missing
out on all of this benefits which Allaah has in store forhim, he
will plunge into a state of disbelief and apostasy and if he doesnt
repent and change his neglectful ways will be amongst the dwellers
of the Fire, wa naoodhu billah! Thus wewarn the Muslims with what
Allaah, His Messenger (sallaalahu alayhi wa sallam) and the Salaf
of this ummah have warned with.
Allah said:
followed have and salaah the neglected have who posterity a them
succeeded there Then" lusts, so they will be thrown in hell. Except
those who repent and believe and work righteousness, such will
enter paradise and will not be wronged."
[Soorah Maryam, 19:59]
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah)
commented:
"In the verse from Soorah Maryam, Allaah has said in reference to
those whoabandoned salaah and followed their desires; "Except those
who repent and believe" which is evidence that when they abandoned
salaab and followed their desires, they were not
believers," (Hukmu Taarikis-Salaah)
So Shaykh Uthaymeen felt that neglecting the salaah meant they
abandoned it which would have made them kuffaar. About the same
verse,Al-Waleed bin Muslim said: "I heard aI-Awzaaee say on the
authority of aI-Qaasim bin Mukhaymirah: They neglected the
prescribed times (for the salaah) and they did not abandon
them (altogether) and had thy abandoned them (the salaah) they
wouldve become kuffaar." (Kitaabush-Shareeah)
The point to be noted here is this, although theyinterpreted the
meaning of "neglected the prayers" differently, what they agreed
upon however, is the fact that abandoning the prayer makes an
individual a kaafir.
The Prophet(sallaalahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Between a man and
polytheism and disbelief is the abandonment of the salaah."
(Muslim)
He (sallaalahu alayhi wa sallam) also said: "The
covenant (which distinguishes) between us and them is the
salaah, so whoever abandons it has disbelieved." (Ahmad)
Umar Ibn aI-Khattaab said: "Theres no portion of Islaamfor the on
who abandons the salaah," (Bukhaaree)
Maqil bin Maqil al-Khathmaee said: "A man approached Alee while he
was in the public square, then he said: O Leader of thebelievers,
what is your opinion about the woman who doesnt pray?" Thereupon he
(Alee) replied, "Whoever doesnt pray is a kaafir"
(Kitaabush-Shareeah)
Sad and Alee bin
Abee Taalib both said: "Whoever abandons it (salaah) has
disbelieved," (Al-Marwazee, Jaamiul-Uloomi wal-HIkam)
Abdullah Ibin Masood said: "Disbelief is abandonment of thesalaah"
(Kitaabush-Shareeah)
Abdullah bin Shaqeeq said:" The Companions of the Messenger of
Allaah did not deem the abandonment of any action to be disbelief
except
for (the abandonment of) the salaah," (At-Tirmidhee)
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal said: "Whoever abandons the salaah has
disbelieved, There is nothing from the action, theabandonment of
which constitutes disbelief except for the salaah, whoever abandons
it is a kaafir and Allaah has made killing him permissible (i.e.
that would be due to it being
considered apostasy and therefore subject to the Islamic laws
and legal system accordingly [in the Islamically governed
country])" (Usoolus-Sunnah)
Abu Daawood said: "I heardAhmad bin Hanbal saying: "If (a person)
says; "I dont pray - then he is a kaafir!"
(Kitaabush-Shareeah)
Ayyoob as-Sakhtiyaanee said: "Abandonment of the salaah is
disbelief
and there is no difference of opinion in this regard,"
(Jaamiul-Uloom wal-Hikam)
Ibn Rajab aI-Hanbalee said: "Ahmad and Ishaaq have concluded that
the abandonment of thesalaah is disbelief based on the disbelief of
Iblees (Shaytaan), which was due to his abandonment of prostration
to Aadam - the abandonment of prostration to Allaah is
greater!!!
(Jaamiul-Uloom wal-Hikam)
After mentioning an abundance of narrations proving the disbelief
of the one who abandons the prayer, Muhammad bin Husayn AI-Aajurree
said:
"These are the narrations and traditions regarding the abandonment and neglect of the salaah, in spite of what we didnt mention which would have made the book too long, likeHudhayfah s hadeeth and his saying to a man who didnt perfect his salaah (he didnt pray): "if he dies upon this, surely he dies upon other than the fitrah of Muhammad (sallaalahu alayhiwa sallam). " (Bukhaaree) And similar to this, on the authority of Bilaal and other than him which proved that the salaah is part of eemaan, and whoever doesnt pray then there is no Eeeman
nor Islaam for him. (Kitaabus-Shareeah)
