We're not doing the 5 daily prayers. There
is something wrong with us. The prophet
said in the hadith, the difference between a
kathir and a Muslim is a salah. Now
most of the Muhaddathins
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 Ahmed
al Muhambal, 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.
This is his opinion that we miss prayers,
we're entered in the state of Kufur. 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 Catholic. He didn't make up those
prayers.
Right? So he has to be very, very
careful. This is a this is a a
gift that was given to the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam.
