A’la Hadrat, Imam of Ahl-us-Sunnah, Maulana Imam Ahmad Raza Khan           رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: The one who deliberately misses a single Salah deserves to be in Hell for thousands years until he repents and does its Qada.

(Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 9, pp. 158)

Dear Islamic brothers! Just imagine when a person has to remain in the Hell for thousands of years for only deliberately missing one Salah, so the person who deliberately misses all the Salah [which are to be offered throughout the day], or rather he does not offer Salah at all, so how severe torment he will deserve. Remember! Even Satan himself seeks protection from the one who deliberately misses Salah.

It has been narrated that a person was going somewhere in a jungle. Satan also accompanied him. He did not offer a single Salah throughout the day and the night fell. Satan started escaping from him. Surprised, the person asked him as to why he was escaping, so the Satan replied, ‘I only refused to perform Sajdah before [Sayyiduna] Aadam [عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام] once throughout my life, so I was accursed and today you have missed all five Salahs. I am feeling scared lest wrath befall upon you and I also become its victim.’

(Durra-tun-Nasiheen, pp. 144)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! We should also offer all five Salahs with Jama’at in the first row regularly. Let’s listen to some admonitions for not offering Salah in order to frighten ourselves from the torment of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and to form the habit of offering Salah:

1.         Sayyiduna Abu Darda رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said: My Khaleel صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم advised me, ‘Do not make anyone the partner of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ even though you have been cut into pieces or burnt. Do not deliberately miss Fard [obligatory] Salah because the one who deliberately misses Salah, protection is lifted from him and do not drink wine at all because it is the root of every evil.’ (Sunan Ibn Majah, pp. 2620, Hadees 4034)
