bringing other thoughts in your mind while offering Salah, not making efforts to offer it with composure and contentment, etc., are all signs of laziness. (Siraat-ul-Jinaan, vol. 2, pp. 335)     

Alas! We miss our Salah just because of laziness in our society today, whereas, we immediately become active from being lazy when it comes to committing a sin. There are such people as well that if they miss one or more Salahs, then they don’t offer Salah deliberately for weeks, rather months. If any well-wisher Islamic brother performs individual efforts and persuades them to offer Salah, then they reply saying: “(اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ), I will resume offering Salah from next Friday”, or “I will start offering Salah properly from next Ramadhan”, etc. In other words, it is as if we very shamelessly and boldly admit the fact that (مَعَاذَ الـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ), we will continue committing this major sin of missing Salah until next Friday or Ramadhan. This is undoubtedly a result of having no Divine fear and any passion for worship. Otherwise, the one who has the Divine fear and passion for worship in his heart, he punctually offers Salah in every state and refrains from the disobedience to Allah Almighty.

Remember! Missing Salah deliberately is a major sin, ‘Haraam act and an action that leads towards the Hell. Allah Almighty says in Part 16, Surah Maryam, Ayah no. 59:

فَخَلَفَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ اَضَاعُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوٰتِ فَسَوْفَ یَلْقَوْنَ غَیًّاۙ(۵۹)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: So after them in their place came those unworthy successors who missed Salah and pursued their lusts, so they will soon encounter the jungle of Ghayy in Hell (a dreadful valley in Hell).

Terrifying valley and frightening well of the Hell

Dear Islamic brothers! The aforementioned Ayah talks about “Ghayy”. It refers to a valley of Hell. Sadr-ush-Shar’iah, Badr-ut-Tareeqah, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states: “Ghayy” is a valley in the Hell which has the most heat and depth. There is a well in it called “Hub Hub”. When the fire of Hell gets close to extinguishing, then Allah Almighty opens up that well which makes the fire of Hell blazing just like before. (Allah Almighty says):
