Allahs punishment for delaying the prayer time or neglecting the prayer Allah, the Most High, says, {But after them there followed a posterity who missed Prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face destruction, except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness.} (Maryam: 59-60) Commenting on the above verses (Ayat), Ibn Abbas said, Allahs statement, Who missed Prayers does not mean that they did not perform it at all but rather they did not perform it in its due time.” Said Ibn AI-Mussaiyyib, Imam of the Tabieen (may Allah be pleased with him) said, It is he who postpones the Dhuhr (Early Afternoon Prayer) until the time of Asr Prayer (Late Afternoon Prayer) and so are Maghrib (Sunset Prayer) until / sha (Evening Prayer), /sha until Fajr (Dawn Prayer) and Fajr until the sun rises. If someone dies persisting in such habits and does not repent to Allah, Allah promises to make him face Ghayy (destruction). But Ghayy may also be the name of a valley in the Hell whose bottom is so deep and tastes so bitter. Allah, the Most High, says, {So woe to the worshipers who are neglectful of their Prayer.} (Maun: 4-5) Sad Ibn Abi Waqqas related, I asked the Prophet (pbuh) about the meaning of the worshipers who are neglectful of their Prayer. He said, It is the delaying of performing the Prayer in its definite time. The word (Wayl) in the Ayah may refer to severe torture or it may be the name of a valley in the Hell. Were the whole mountains of the world brought in such valley it would melt because of severe heat. This is the abode of those who are not serious in Prayer unless they repent to Allah and regret for what they have done.
