The Prophet ﷺ warned about it in the strongest of terms, and the scholars have differed regarding the ruling on the one who deliberately abandons the prayer. But before rushing to ask, "Is this person a Muslim or a kāfir?", perhaps we should ask a more important question: "How can I help bring them back to Allaah?" In this reminder, Abu Mussab encourages us to shift our focus from labels to sincere concern. Someone who has stopped praying is in desperate need of advice, patience, compassion, and wise da'wah—not people eagerly waiting to pass judgments. Sometimes a person has underlying doubts, emotional struggles, sins, trauma, bad company, or other obstacles that have distanced them from prayer. Rather than becoming obsessed with their ruling, strive to understand their condition and help treat the root cause. As believers, we should rejoice when people return to Allaah—not when we find reasons to condemn them. May Allaah guide every Muslim who has abandoned the prayer, soften their hearts, return them to His obedience, and make us among those who call to Him with wisdom, patience, and mercy. #Salah #Prayer #Islam #Dawah #AbuMussab #OneWayToParadise #IslamicReminder #Repentance #Guidance #QuranAndSunnah Need to ask a question privately? 🕒 15, 30, or 60-minute (paid) sessions 🔒 100% confidential 💻 Held over video call, wherever you are Book your session https://onewaytotarbiyah.podia.com/askabumussab Clip from: #8 Zaad Al-Ma'aad by Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله https://www.youtube.com/live/gHqMYYTUIhg?si=aRfQoELK_dXRTMIN
