he is subjected to the severest of the punishments, whereas, this would be the slightest punishment upon him.’ (Muslim, Kitab-ul-Iman, pp. 111, Hadees 517)   

O devotees of Rasool! Fear the torment of Hell. Feel pity on your weak bodies. Abandon laziness, refrain from sins and start offering Salah. Alas! Some people miss their Salah by indulging in useless activities. They don’t even realise the fact that they are continuously disobeying Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty is blessing us with countless blessings day and night without us asking for them, but some people are deprived of prostrating in His court only five times a day.

Alas! In order to remain protected against worldly diseases, problems and hardships, we start Awraad and Wazaaif (invocations) instantly told to us by people, but Allah Almighty, Who has commanded us to offer Salah hundreds of times in the Holy Quran, everyone should ponder that how much do I act upon this command? When I am called to present myself in the court of Allah Almighty, how many times do I say “Labbaik” and go to the Masjid? Everyone should ponder that the five times daily call from the Masjid that calls towards success, do I ignore it or do I go to the Masjid leaving everything behind? Alas! So many heedless people still remain asleep heedlessly despite hearing about the punishments of the grave, severities of the Hell and terrors of the Judgement Day. May Allah Almighty truly wake us up from the sleep of heedlessness.

اٰمِــيْن بِـجَـاهِ الـنَّـبِـیِّ الْاَمِــيْن صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

صَـلُّوا عَلَى الْـحَـبِيْب                   صَـلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلٰى مُـحَـمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! We shall also offer all five daily Salahs punctually. In order to develop the fear of the Divine torment and the habit of offering Salah, let’s listen to 4 admonitions for not offering Salah.  

1.   Sayyiduna Abu Darda رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ states: The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم advised me: Do not associate partners to Allah Almighty even if you are torn into pieces and burnt. Do not leave Fard Salah deliberately because the one who misses Salah deliberately, refuge is lifted away from him. And do not drink alcohol at all because it is the root of every evil. (Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 4, pp. 376, Hadees 4034)

2.   He صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: The one who left Salah will meet Allah Almighty in such a state that Allah Almighty will have wrath upon him. (Majma’-uz-Zawaid, vol. 2, pp. 26, Hadees 632)

3.   He صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: The one who left Salah decreased his household and wealth. (Kanz-ul-‘Ummal, vol. 7, pp. 132, Hadees 19085)

4.   He صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: The one who missed Salah deliberately is verily deprived of Allah’s mercy. (Mu'jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 12, pp. 195, Hadees 13023)
