A life of hell

A person who does not perform Salaah is leading a life of hell. Allah Ta'ala has made 5 times Salaah Farz so that the lives of people may be joyful. But people neglect Salaah to satisfy their desires wherein they believe lie their well-being. However, they are seeking a cure by consuming poison or they are seeking coolness in the fire. In a Hadith, Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

"Allah Ta'ala has a Farishta who makes an announcement at the time of each Salaah ' O people! Be ready for that fire that you have lit. Thus, extinguish it (by performing Salaah)." (Tabrani)
