The Danger of Negligence by Those Who Set Their Clocks for Work but Not for the Fajr Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The saying of Allah the Exalted in Surat al-Ma'un:
[But] who are heedless of their prayer -الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ صَلاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
[Al-Ma'un: 5] Does this include those who are good at setting their clocks for work but do not set them for the Fajr prayer? What is your guidance for them?
[But] who are heedless of their prayer -الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ صَلاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
[Al-Ma'un: 5] We have previously stated that they are negligent in their obligations, whether it is Fajr or 'Asr, as is common with some people, may Allah protect us from that. For the Fajr prayer, they do not get up until the time for work arrives. For the 'Asr prayer, since they come to eat lunch and need to sleep, they do not pray until the sun sets.These are among those whom Allah mentioned:
[But] who are heedless of their prayer -الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ صَلاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
[Al-Ma'un 107:5]
Whether they set their clocks for work or not, the important thing is that they are wasting the prayer.
