Book Name:Namaz Ki Ahmiyat

1.         The one who misses Salah will meet Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in the state that He will have His wrath upon him. (Majma-uz-Zawaid, vol. 2, pp. 26, Hadees 1632)

2.         The one, who misses Salah, decreases his family and wealth.

(Kanz-ul-‘Ummal, vol. 6, pp. 132, Hadees 19085)

3.         The one who deliberately misses Salah is undoubtedly out of the mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 12, pp. 195, Hadees 13023)

 

Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: The person who does not offer Salah is not protected by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. By virtue of Salah a person is protected from disasters in the world, loss of faith at the time of death, being unsuccessful in the test of the grave and the calamities on the Judgement Day.

(Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 1, pp. 69)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Guard all your prayers, and (particularly) the middle prayer; and stand with reverence before Allah.
