Asalamaalekom my Brothers and Sister ....please read, ponder/analyze/contemplate and think???.... iblees refused to prostrate to Adam Alaihi Salat Wasalam which was an order by Allah Subhana Wata3la...this prostration was not to worship Adam but as to honor Adam Alaihi Salam, the prostration was as out of respect to Adam Alaihisalam but Iblees refused and he was cursed by Allah Subhana Wata3la since that moment and until the day of judgement...NOW You muslim if you dont pray you dont want to prostrate to your CREATOR how much worse than that?..iblees did not prostrate to Adam and he was cursed!! you if you dont pray to your CREATOR what are you expecting? ....Think and really think deep..you are putting yourself no where other than worse place more than besides iblees. Imaam Ahmad said that the one who does not pray because of laziness is a kaafir. This is the more correct view and is that indicated by the evidence of the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and by the words of the Salaf and the proper understanding. (Al-Sharh al-Mumti’ ‘ala Zaad al-Mustanqi’, 2/26). Anyone who examines the texts of the Qur’aan and Sunnah will see that they indicate that the one who neglects the prayer is guilty of Kufr Akbar (major kufr) which puts him beyond the pale of Islam. But if they repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, then they are your brothers in religion; and We detail the verses for a people who know. (Quran 09:11) But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil -Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all. (Quran 19:59-60) Allaah referred to those who neglect the prayer and follow their desires, Except those who repent and believe, which indicates that at the time when they are neglecting their prayers and following their desires, they are not believers. Allah Most High says: (The people in Hell will be asked): What caused you to enter Hell-fire? They will say: We were not among those who prayed, nor did we feed the needy. We used to engage in vain discourse with the vain-talkers, and we used to deny the Day of Judgment, until there came to us that which is certain (i.e.. Allahs judgment). Then no intercession by an intercessors will benefit them. (Quran 74:42-48) Prophet Muhammad (ﺻﻠﯽ الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ ﻋﻠﯿﮧ ﻭﺍٓﻟﮧ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) said: The difference between us and them (Kuffar/Non-Muslims) is that of salaah so whoever abandons salaah certainly commits kufr. (Tirmidhi, kitab ul Iman, Declared Sahih by Imam Tirmidhi, Imam Nasai and Allama Iraqi, Minhaaj ul Muslimeen pg.80) The Prophet SalaAllaho Alaihi Wasalam said in this regard: The first thing which will be judged among a persons deeds on the Day of Resurrection is the prayer. If that is in good order, he will pass the test and prosper, and if that is defective, he will fail the test and be a loser. (Tirmidhi) May Allah guide us all.
