Then the infidel, Obligatory Charity, almsgiving and pilgrim, never accepted from him by Allah All-Mighty says :

 

          [ Say: “Spend (in Allah’s Cuase) willingly or unwillingly, it will not be accepted from you. Verily, you are ever a people who are Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). * And nothing prevents their contributions from being accepted from them except that they disbelieved in Allah and in His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ), and that they came not to As-Salat (the prayer) except in a lazy state, and that they offer not contributions but unwillingly.] (At-Taubah:53-54).

 

         If this is Allah's opinion regarding those who perform the prayer lazily, how come that Allah forgives us and you about who do not perform prayers at all and on purpose as he who poses the question admitted?.

 

         How about the Prophet's [Hadith] which reads: "The five (ordained) prayers, and from Friday to Friday, and from Ramadan to Ramadan clear whatever (sins) between them as long as man avoids the greater sins."?… The condition for forgiving sins is to avoid the greater sins. But is there a sin greater than not performing prayers which leads to unbelief?… In the introduction of this books, we have mentioned some of the Prophetic Hadiths that warn those who abandon prayers. Of those Hadith, one that reads as follows, "The difference between them and us is prayer. So, whoever abandons it becomes a disbeliever." Another [Hadith] about prayers reads as follows: "what leads man to disbelief and atheism is abandoning prayers."
