The speaker discusses the importance of praying five daily prayers instead of just one, as there is a qualitative difference between a Muslim and a non- Muslim. The speaker also explains that a Muslim who hasn't prayed for long enough for their religious status doesn't require praying, and that praying only means being a Muslim. The speaker also mentions a gift given to the prophet Sallali Alaihi-IFailam.

We're not doing the 5 daily prayers. There

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

is something wrong with us. The prophet

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

said in the hadith, the difference between a

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

kathir and a Muslim is a salah. Now

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

most of the Muhaddathins

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

say this is a qualitative difference, not an

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

essential difference. Meaning that a Muslim who isn't

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

praying has the qualities of a kafir, but

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

he can still be a Muslim. But Ahmed

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

al Muhambal, he said, no. It's an essential

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

difference that if a Muslim isn't praying, he's

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

a kafir. So we have to be very

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

careful about this. This is a big opinion.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

This is his opinion that we miss prayers,

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

we're entered in the state of Kufur. That's

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

why he said that, you know, if a

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

Muslim wasn't praying until he was 19, 20

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

years old, he doesn't have to make up

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

those prayers. Do you know why? Because he

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

was a Catholic. He didn't make up those

00:00:39 --> 00:00:39

prayers.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

Right? So he has to be very, very

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

careful. This is a this is a a

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

gift that was given to the prophet sallallahu

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

alaihi wasallam.
