The Status of Prayer in Islam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I move on to this message from one of the brothers who used the code name 'Abd al-Karim al-Dawsari. He asks: What is the status of prayer in Islam?

Answer:
Prayer in Islam is the second pillar. Yes. It is among the pillars of Islam after the two testimonies, and it is the first thing for which the servant will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection from his deeds. If it is accepted, the rest of his deeds will be accepted, and if it is rejected, the rest of his deeds will be rejected. It is the distinguishing factor between the Muslim and the disbeliever. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
between the servantبين العبد
Kufr (disbelief) is abandoning the prayerبين الكفر ترك الصلاة،
Sunan Ibn Majah 1078Sahih (Darussalam)
, and this is in the Sunan. He (peace and blessings be upon him) also said:
The covenant between us and them is prayer, so if anyone abandons it he has become an infidel.” Ahmadالْعَهْدُ الَّذِي بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ الصَّلَاةُ فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا فَقَدْ كَفَرَ رَوَاهُ
Mishkat al-Masabih 574
, and this is in the Sunan. This is the difference between the Muslim and the disbeliever. Yes.
