00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			We're not doing the 5 daily prayers, there's
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			something wrong with us. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			Wasallam said in the Hadith, the difference between
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			a and
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			a Muslim is a salah. Now,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			most of the Muaddehtin say this is a
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			qualitative difference, not an essential difference. Meaning that
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			a Muslim who isn't praying has the qualities
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			of a kafir, but he can still be
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			a Muslim. But Ahmad ibn Muhambal, he said,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			no. It's an essential difference that if a
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			Muslim isn't praying, he's a kafir.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			So we have to be very careful about
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			this, this is a big opinion, Ahmad ibn
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			Hanbal,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			this is his opinion that we miss prayers
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			we're entered in the state of Kufr That's
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			why he said that, you know, if a
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			Muslim wasn't praying until he was 19, 20
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			years old, he doesn't have to make up
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			those prayers. Do you know why? Because he
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			was a.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			He doesn't make up those prayers.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			Right? So we have to be very, very
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			careful. This is a this is a a
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			gift that was given to the prophet sallallahu
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			alaihi wasallam.
