Ali Ataie – If We Are Not Doing the Five Daily Prayers, There Something Wrong With Us

We're not doing the 5 daily prayers, there's

something wrong with us. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

Wasallam said in the Hadith, the difference between

a and

a Muslim is a salah. Now,

most of the Muaddehtin say this is a

qualitative difference, not an essential difference. Meaning that

a Muslim who isn't praying has the qualities

of a kafir, but he can still be

a Muslim. But Ahmad ibn Hanbal, he said,

no. It's an essential difference that if a

Muslim isn't praying, he's a kafir.

So we have to be very careful about

this. This is a big opinion, Ahmad ibn

Muhammad,

this is his opinion that we miss prayers,

we're entered in the state of Kufr That's

why he said that, you know, if a

Muslim wasn't praying until he was 19, 20

years old, he doesn't have to make up

those prayers. Do you know why? Because he

was a.

He's gonna make up those prayers.

Right? So we have to be very, very

careful. This is a this is a a

gift that was given to the prophet.
