Prophet
(pbuh) said: “Between a man and shirk and kufr there stands his neglect of the
prayer.” (Sahih Muslim in Kitaab al-Eemaan)
It was narrated that Buraydah ibn al-Husayb (ra) said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say: ‘The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is the prayer, and whoever neglects it has disbelieved (become a kaafir).’” (Ahmad, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa’i and Ibn Majah)
“Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Salaat (the prayers) [i.e. made their Salaat (prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times] and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in Hell. Except those who repent and believe (in the Oneness of Allaah and His Messenger Muhammad), and work righteousness. Such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in aught.” (Maryam 19:59-60)
