Salaah =-? The Prophet (SAW) said in this regard: “The first thing which will be judged among a person’s deeds on the Day of Resurrection is the prayer. If that is in good order, he will pass the test and prosper, and if that is defective, he will fail the test and be a loser.” (Tirmidhi) Informing us about the inhabitants of Hell, Allah Most High says: (The people in Hell will be asked): “What caused you to enter Hell-fire?” They will say: “We were not among those who prayed, nor did we feed the needy. We used to engage in vain discourse with the vain-talkers, and we used to deny the Day of Judgment, until there came to us that which is certain (i.e.. Allah’s judgment).” Then no intercession by an intercessors will benefit them. (Quran 74:42-48) The Prophet (SAW) said: “The covenant between us and them (that is, believers) is prayer, so if anyone abandons it he has become an infidel.” (Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Abu Dawood, Nisai, Tirmidhi). He also said: “What lies between a man and infidelity is the abandonment of prayer.” (Muslim) Allah’s Messenger (SAW) is reported to have said: “If anyone abandons the afternoon prayer, his deeds are of no avail.” (Bukhari). And he said: “If anyone abandons prayer deliberately he has no claim upon Allah” (Sunan). Abdullah bin amr bin al-As (RAA) said that the Prophet (SAW) mentioned prayer one day saying, “If anyone keeps to it, it will be light, evidence, and salvation for him on the day of Resurrection; but if anyone does not keep to it, it will not be for him light, evidence, or salvation; and on the Day of Resurrection, he will be associated with Qaran, Pharoah, Haman, and Ubayy bin Khalaf (a great enemy of Islam from among the Quraish).” (Ahmad, Darimi and Baihaqi)
