Prayer - The Purpose for Which we were Created

Sorry for the lack of volume, please turn your computer volume all the way up.

How is it possible that some people can call themselves Muslim yet they dont pray? Prayer is the second pillar in Islam after the declaration of faith.

If a Muslim is an alcoholic or a fornicator, scholars agree that these sins do not take that person outside the fold of Islam. However, in regards to the prayer, the scholars disagree on this issue as the difference between a Muslim and kufr is the prayer.

Furthermore, often times, people think they are fulfilling their duty of prayer by praying five times a day. However, we are not told to just pray, rather we are told to pray properly. The Quran states, So woe to the praying ones, who are unmindful of their prayers (Translation of the Meaning of the Quran, 107:4-5). SubhanAllah, the one who prays yet is heedless in his prayer is condemned, then what about the one that doesnt pray?! Many of the scholars of the past held the opinion that if you miss one prayer during its time slot on purpose ONCE, then this is kufr (this is apparently the opinion of the Hanbali madhab). Missing just one prayer outside of its time slot, if it is not kufr, is a major sin (other major sins include the likes of murder, adultery, etc).

The first matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will be sound. And if it is bad, then the rest of his deeds will be bad. [at Tabarani]

Next time you want to delay the prayer out of its time slot because of an exam or a meeting, take a step-back and think whats more worthy of your time, the purpose for which you were created or anything else? There is no excuse for praying kaza, period.

Allah (SWT) states in the Quran, I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me (Translation of the Meaning of the Quran, 51:56).

you lying about the koran ,you don't know what you missing with....if your boss give you a book to take care of i am sure you will take care of it....the koran is not from your boss...the koran is from the boss of all bosses,,put you effort into understanding it...or leave it alone,

[NeCliquePasSurMoi]

i beleive the thousands of people who have memorised the koran in arabic understand most of it

[polka23dot]

The language of the Koran is simiar to Classical Arabic. The script is similar to Aramaic. Only a few hundred experts understand this language - I do not understand it.

Ibn Umar alKhattab explicitly admits, "Let no one of you say that he has acquired the entire Quran for how does he know that it is all? Much of the Quran has been lost, thus let him say, I have acquired of it what is available" (Suyuti: Itqan, part 3, page 72).
