Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (swalla-Allaahu alayhi wa-sallam) said,
(( إنَّ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَبَيْنَ الشِّرْكِ والكفر ، تَرْكَ الصَّلاَةِ ))
"Between a man and unbelief and paganism is the abandonment of Salaat (five-times daily obligatory prayer”.
[Reported by Saheeh Muslim, Hadith # 82, 134 (1/61-62)]
He who will be having the quality of Islam and will be particular in performing Salaat (five-time daily obligatory prayer) regularly, will raise a wall between himself and unbelief.
He who does not perform Salaat after coming to the fold of Islam, does not have a frontier which separates him from infidelity.
Leaving Salaat is like demolishing the wall that separates Islam from unbelief (Kufr). This makes the importance of Salaat in Islam abundantly clear.
Buraidah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (swalla-Allaahu alayhi wa-sallam) said,
(( العَهْدُ الَّذِي بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ الصَّلاَةُ ، فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا فَقَدْ كَفَرَ )
"That which differentiates us from the unbelievers and hypocrites is our performance of Salaat (five-time obligatory daily prayer). He who abandons it, becomes an unbeliever”.
[An authentic Hadith related by Sunan Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith # 261, Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith # 1079, Sunan Al-Nasaie (1/231), Sunan Al-Kubra, Hadith # 325].
Shaqiq bin ‘Abdullah reported: The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (swalla-Allaahu alayhi wa-sallam) did not consider the abandonment of any action/deed as unbelief (kufr) except the Salaat (five-time daily obligatory prayer).
[An authentic Hadith related by Sunan Al-Tirmidhi, Kitaab Al-Eemaan, Tuhfat Al-Ishraaf # 15610, Tahdheeb Al-Kamaal # 3321 (2/162)]
The opinion of the Companions of the Prophet (swalla-Allaahu alayhi wa-sallam) was based on the information contained in the above mentioned Hadiths. They considered abandonment of Salaat as unbelief (Kufr) and apostasy and regarded Salaat a symbol of Islam

***** The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Foretold Us That People Will Sit In Circles In The Mosques And They Will Have No Concern Except This World -- This Blameworthy Deed Is Disliked ***** Allaah Has No Need Of Them So Do Not Sit With Them ***** Because The Mosques Are Not Built For Such A Purpose Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَتَحَلَّقُونَ فِي مَسَاجِدِهِمْ ، وَلَيْسَ هِمَّتُهُمْ إِلاَّ الدُّنْيَا ، لَيْسَ لِلَّهِ فِيهِمْ حَاجَةٌ ، فَلا تُجَالِسُوهُمْ ‘There will come a time when people will sit in circles in the mosques and they will have no concern except this world.

Be Careful What Contradicts To The Divine Faith

*****Be Careful What Contradicts To The Divine Faith: n The form of feelings in the heart n The form of actions of the heart, n Spoken words on the tongue n And outward physical actions The form of feelings in the heart, such as hating Allaah or His signs, or His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him); this contradicts love and faith which support the actions of the heart. The form of spoken words, such as insulting Allaah, or it may be an outward action, such as prostrating to idols, or offering sacrifices to someone other than Allaah. Just as faith takes the form of actions of the heart, words on the tongue and outward physical actions, so too kufr may take the form of actions of the heart, words on the tongue and outward physical actions. [Ref. A’laam al-Sunnah al-Manshoorah, 177; Nawaaqid al-Eemaan al-Qawliyyah wa’l-‘Amaliyyah by Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez Aal ‘Abd al-Lateef, 36-46; Dawaabit al-Takfeer by Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah al-Qarani, 183, 196].

NO GOSSIP MONGER WILL ENTER PARADISE

***** NO GOSSIP MONGER WILL ENTER PARADISE The motive in spreading gossip is either ill will towards the person of whom one speaks or to show love to the person to whom one speaks, or to indulge in unnecessary talk and falsehood. All of that is haraam. There is a great deal of evidence in the Quran and Sunnah (prophetic traditions) to show that gossip is haraam (impermissible), such as the verses in which Allah says: وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّهِينٍ هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّاءٍ بِنَمِيمٍ “And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer. [And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -” [Al-Qalam 68:10,11] وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ “Woe to every scorner and mocker” [Al-Humazah 104:1] It was narrated that Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: لا يدخل الجنة نمَّام “No gossipmonger will enter Paradise” [Agreed upon Hadith by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. And it was narrated from Ibn M...
