Book Name:Allah waloon ki Namaz
Dear Islamic sisters! In the Holy Quran and Hadees, where so many virtues and blessings of offering Salah have been mentioned, severe punishments have also been mentioned for not offering the Salah (within the time-frame) or for missing Salah. In Ayah 59 of Surah Maryam, part 16 it is stated:
فَخَلَفَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ اَضَاعُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوٰتِ فَسَوْفَ یَلْقَوْنَ غَیًّاۙ(۵۹)
Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And after them came the unworthy successors who squandered prayer and pursued their own desires, so they will soon encounter the forest of Ghayy in Hell. (Part 16, Surah Maryam, Ayah 59)
Horrible well of terrifying valley
In the above-mentioned blessed Ayah ‘Ghayy’ [غَیّ] has been mentioned that means ‘a valley of Hell’. Mufti Muhammad Amjad Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: ‘Ghayy’ is a valley in Hell which is the hottest and deepest of all; it has a well named ‘Hab Hab’ [ہَبْ ہَبْ]. When the fire of Hell is about to extinguish, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ opens this well due to which it [i.e. the fire of Hell] blazes as usual. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said:
كُلَّمَا خَبَتْ زِدْنٰهُمْ سَعِیْرًا(۹۷)
Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Whenever it is about to extinguish, We will inflame it more for them. (Part 15, Surah Bani Israel, Ayah 97)
(He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه further said): ‘This ‘well’ is for those who do not offer Salah, for fornicators, drunkards, usurers and for those who hurt their parents.
(Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 434)
Remember! Missing even one Salah deliberately is a major sin. On page 158 of Fatawa-e-Razawiyyah, volume 9 it is stated: The one who deliberately misses Salah of even one time, deserves to be in Hell for thousands of years until he repents and offers its Qada.
