Neglecting Salah

Neglecting Salah is a very grave sin. It is so grave that some Hadith have categorised it as Kufr. Is there a sin more grave than Kufr? According to a Hadith found in Musnad Ahmad, a person who neglects Salah will be with Qarun, Fir'aun, Hamaan and Ubayy Bin Khalaf. These four people were the worst Kaafir and among the very bad people. Therefore, neglecting Salah is so grave that it puts a person in the group and rank of the worst Kaafir.

We have to be careful and think of rectifying our lives. A life devoid of Salah is rather a hell. Let's make our life successful by being a good Namazi and a sincere practitioner!
