PRAYERS ARE PART OF GUIDANCE

1085

“Those who would love to meet Allah tomorrow as a Muslim should take care of the prayers when he is called to them.

Allah has expounded to your Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, the ways of guidance and prayers are a part of them. If you were to say your prayers at home, as this laggard does, you depart from the way of your Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and if you depart from it you will go astray.

I have known a time when only a hypocrite would stay away from them. Some of us were brought to the Mosque supported between two men till they reached their place in the row. The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, taught us the ways of guidance and part of guidance is prayer offered in the mosque from which the call to prayer is made.”

Muslim with a chain up to ibn Mas'ud who said this.
