ملتقى أهل العلم - No excuse to miss your prayer

Allah (SWT) says: "Then there has succeeded them a generation which has given up prayers(i.e, made their praycrs to be lost, either by not offering them at all or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times, etc.) and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in Hell. Except those who repent and believe in the Oneness of Allah and His Messenger, and act righteously." (Maryam, 19:59-60)

Allah (SWT) also says: "Woe unto those performers of prayers (hypocrites) who are unmindful of their prayers (i.e., delay their prayer from its stated fixed time)." (Al-Maa'oon, 107:4-5)

And Allah (SWT) says: "O you who believe! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. And whosoever does that, then they are the losers." (Al-Munaafiqoon, 63:9)

Informing us about the inhabitants of Hell, Allah (SWT) says: "(The people in Hell will be asked): What has caused you to enter Hell? They will say: We were not among those who used to pray. Nor did we feed the poor. And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allaah hated) with vain-talkers. And we used to belie thc Day of Recompense. Until there came to us that which is certain (i.e., death). So no Intercession of intercessors will benefit them." (Al-Muddaththir, 74:42-48 )
