I came across this today on my random researching moments:
Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu-Alaihi-wa-Sallam) said: The difference between us and non-Muslims is that of salaah so whoever abandons salaah certainly commits kufr.Eek!
(Tirmidhi, kitab ul Iman, Declared Sahih by Imam Tirmidhi, Imam Nasai and Allama Iraqi, Minhaaj ul Muslimeen pg.80).
I have to admit I've had my lazy days & continue to have them, where I literally have to force myself up to go & pray. Usually due to the stupid excuse in my head which is always 'it's so cold & wudhu makes me coldeeer' (bet you all thinking 'wimp' & yes that would be a correct analysis), but Alhamdulillah I've so far managed to stamp over those thoughts & get up. So I started to look for some inspiration 'cos as they say 'once you get out of the habit of praying your 5 daily prayers, it's hard to get back on track.' & that is not what we want. But I found the above quote inspiration enough! Plus I was thinking about all the things Allah has blessed me with, & what kind of person would I be if I couldn't be cold for 10 seconds for his sake (Ok, so wudhu doesn't take 10secs for anyone but Superman, but you get what I'm saying. Hah just had a thought. If Superman was Muslim how sick would that be!! Oh & also if he existed...) So my point is, we all gotta pray, pray and pray some more for the sake of Allah (S.W.T), 'cos without Him we'd be nowhere.
Plus I don't think the answer 'Allah I was scared of being cold & I was having a PROPER lazy day so I decided not to pray', is gunna cut it as a good enough answer on the Day of Judgement!
