The Shaykh’s discussion with the students regarding prayer.

The Shaykh : In the previous lesson, we said that we would speak about whom?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Titled.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Pauses. All right. Take a break. The first pause: explaining the importance of prayer.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Explaining the importance of prayer from...
The student: ...
The Shaykh: It is one of the five pillars of Islam, and indeed it is the most emphasized of the pillars of Islam after the two testimonies regarding the religion of Islam.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : No. Take a break. Yes?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : We can say that abandoning it is disbelief, and then. Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : The brother before you mentioned... that Allah made it obligatory upon His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) directly, from Allah to the Messenger. And that He first made it obligatory as fifty prayers, which indicates its importance and Allah’s love for it, and that if a person spent most of his time in it, it would be worthy of him and a reality for him.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : It was made obligatory in the sky and on the best night for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). May Allah reward you. And among its characteristics is that abandoning it, brother...
The student: Is disbelief in Allah.

The Shaykh : That abandoning it is disbelief in the discussion. All right, do you have evidence from the Qur'an that abandoning it is disbelief? ... Oh Shaykh, discussion.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Does this indicate disbelief? He also said that the cheaters are disbelievers . Why do you rule that it is disbelief when you have no evidence?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : What is it?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Yes, may Allah reward you. We want, we want evidence from the Qur'an that abandoning prayer is disbelief. Yes. The one next to you.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : What is the indication?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Take a break... My brother. Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : No. The verse mentioned by the brother is the evidence. But what is the indication? Yes, that is right.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Oh Shaykh, take a break. Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : He stipulated three conditions for brotherhood in religion: repentance, establishing prayer, and giving zakah. All right, if these conditions are not met, they are not our brothers in religion. And religious brotherhood is not negated except by disbelief. Is that so? Meaning, sins, however great, do not negate faith-based brotherhood. All right. The response to this argument is to say: Then withholding zakah is disbelief. Come on, Adel.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : No, that is not correct.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Withholding zakah is disbelief.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Sit down, sit down, sit down. Yes, sit down. Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : No, that is not the evidence. It is said that the response to this is: The one who withholds zakah is a disbeliever. But the Sunnah indicates that the one who withholds zakah is not a disbeliever. Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Yes. When he mentioned the punishment for the one who withholds zakah, he said: . What is the indication?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : My brother, there is no will in . If he were a disbeliever, he would have no way to Paradise.
