Too busy to pray? Think about that tight grave where you won't have anything to do. Can't be bothered to pray? Remember those angels who won't get tired while they drag you face first to the fire. Will pray when you get older? Remember the people who thought the same thing, and now they're dead, but they didn't reach old age. Too arrogant to prostrate? Remember you came from a drop of sperm, you were born crying and you couldn't even feed yourself. Nor can you reach the strength of the mountains, so humble yourself before you become one of the inhabitants of the fire. Keep forgetting? Your Lord does not forget. Have a pure heart so don't need to pray? That's like saying I have never washed myself but I am clean. Think you don't need to pray? Enter into Islam. The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam) said: “Verily, between a man and Shirk and Kufr is leaving the Salaah.” (Reported by Muslim) The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam) said: “The covenant that differentiates between us and them is the Salaah; whoever leaves it has disbelieved.” (Reported by Tirmidhi, Ibn-Hibban) The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam) said: “Do not leave any prescribed prayer deliberately; whoever does so deliberately then he has freed himself from the protection (of Allaah and His Messenger).” (Authenticated by Ibn-us-Sakan, Ibn Hajar, Al-Albaanee) The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whoever leaves `Asr Salaah will have his deeds annulled.” (Reported by Al-Bukhari) The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam) said: “The first thing about which a slave will be reckoned on the Day of Judgement is Salaah; if it is found to be all right then so will be all of his deeds, and if it is spoiled then so will all his other deeds.” (Authenticated by Al-Albaanee) The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam) said: “The first thing that you will lose from your religion is trustworthiness, and the last thing you will lose from it is Salaah.” (Authenticated by Al-Albaanee) Al-Miswar ibn Makhramah narrated that `Umar ibn Al-Khattaab (radiyallaahu `anhu) said: “There is no share in Islam for the one who leaves Salaah.” (Authenticated by Al-Albaanee) `Abdullaah ibn Shaqeeq narrated that Aboo Hurairah (radiyallaahu `anhu) said: “The companions of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam) did not consider that abandoning any deed made a person a Kaafir (disbeliever), apart from abandoning the Salaah.” (Authenticated by Adh-Dhahabee, Al-Albaanee) It is not too late!
