The eternal abode of the one who abandons prayer in the Fire
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is carried from the Fire, and there was in his heart the weight of a seed of eternity from it, water. How does the one who abandons prayer become eternally in the Fire, when he believes in Allah, knows the obligation of prayer, and his creed is the creed of the Salaf?
Answer:
If his creed were the creed of the Salaf, he would have preserved the prayer. The Salaf preserve the prayer. So the one who does not preserve the prayer is not upon the creed of the Salaf. He is a disbeliever, a disbeliever of major disbelief. So he is eternally in the Fire, as the authentic hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) state. If he abandons the prayer intentionally, he departs from the creed of the Salaf and departs from faith. Yes.
