What does it feel like to not pray 5 times a day?

[Taij4an]

I forgot what it feels like to never pray, for the people here who used to pray 5 times a day then stopped, or never used to pray and recently started praying, what difference do you find.
I find it impossible to imagine what its like not praying a lot, like u must feel so empty in the heart, or something, Missing one prayer makes u depressed imagine missing all 5.

I started to pray, when my father died. It was a sad day, but a blessing day for me as well, as I finally woke up. Before I was mindlessly living the life with no purpose etc. Alhamdullah now I know the importance of prayer, and once I started to pray, I feel more at peace and ease. You will notice you will become more disinterested in materialism etc you won’t be attached to this short life called dunya and you will constantly remind your self of the akira and “death, the destroyer of pleasures and desires”, this will make you stay away from sins etc. So overall by praying etc, you will balance this life with the akira, and in turn you will be way more happier and have a Noor in your face.

I get this sick feeling when i dont pray for long time, like kind of a feeling that i start to hate myself.

Well as a woman when it’s my time of the month and I can’t pray I feel sadness. Like I’m already hormonal and am extra sensitive. I just make tons of duaa.

I don't think I could be a woman not being able to pray for a week would make me too sad

I haven't prayed properly in years lol, life goes on as usual.

Only time I "pray" is if I'm with family or friends but that doesn't really count as I'm just doing it so they don't get suspicious.

Whens the last time you prayed properly, like actually properly not just praying for the sake of it, if u ever actually prayed properly

 

[Lebron James]

I feel normal whether I prayed or not tbh, I feel bad when I miss one because it’s a habit not because of anything spiritual. Gotta avoid hell and pray tho

Prayer is taken very (!!) noawadays but Islam has a clear stance on neglecting or deliberately leaving it.

Bismillāh.

Salah/Prayer according to the Qur'ān and Ahādīth [plr. Hadīth]

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Salaat (the prayers) [i.e. made their Salaat (prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times] and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in Hell. Except those who repent and believe (in the Oneness of Allaah and His Messenger Muhammad), and work righteousness. Such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in aught.” [Maryam 19:59-60]

The evidence derived from this aayah is that Allaah referred to those who neglect the prayer and follow their desires, Except those who repent and believe, which indicates that at the time when they are neglecting their prayers and following their desires, they are not believers.

The evidence of the Sunnah that proves that the one who neglects the prayer is a kaafir includes the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Between a man and shirk and kufr there stands his neglect of the prayer.”

(Narrated by Muslim in Kitaab al-Eemaan from Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah


It was narrated that Buraydah ibn al-Husayb (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: ‘The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is the prayer, and whoever neglects it has disbelieved (become a kaafir).’”

(It was narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa’i and Ibn Maajah).


What is meant here by kufr or disbelief is the kind of kufr which puts a person beyond the pale of Islam, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made prayer the dividing line between the believers and the disbelievers. It is known that the community of kufr is not the same as the community of Islam, so whoever does not fulfil this covenant must be one of the kaafireen (disbelievers).


Ibn Abi Haatim in his Sunan from ‘Ubaadah ibn al-Saamit (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) exhorted us:

‘Do not associate anything in worship with Allaah, and do not neglect the prayer deliberately, for whoever neglects the prayer deliberately puts himself beyond the pale of Islam.”

May Allāh forgive us our shortcomings, guide us to the straight path and make his worship easy for us.

Guys if you don’t pray, you don’t want to meet the angel of death in that situation. There’s a saying, ‘you die the way you lived’

I personally found prayer to be extremely taxing especially when I was younger and rolling around with extreme diraac gang niggas. I understand the spiritual and meditation aspect of it. However, in modern life the prayer times are so jarring e.g the whole process is long af, stopping whatever you are doing along with the prayer times fucking up my sleeping patterns and the guilt associated with missing the timing. That got me really thinking that the creater of this universe wouldn't really burn me for all eternity just because I missed the timing of one prayer. The whole repetitive nature of it didn't really do anything for me in the long run.

So basically
"It too difficult for me, Prayer doesnt matter"
Ngl thats the dumbest argument.
Islam isnt supposed to give u jannah in this dunya, life is a test, if u gave up that easily idk what to say

Hey you're the one asking people's opinion on this thread. You know how many times a nigga heard life is a test remark lol. I find it a relief no longer having to wake up at the crack of dawn or worse Ramadan when the gap between Isha and Fajr and suhoor is like playing sleep deprivation on x modes. If anything my mental health has improved not having to hit the floor and recite in language I don't understand. Nigga im guilt free but you do you. Word of advice saxib you have a lot of doomy gloomy what is the point of life thread. Mental health is often overlooked in our community if you want to talk go see a professional saxib and if prayers work for you keep on going and getting your spirituality in. Im rooting for you my fellow 5head brother.

I don't believe in therapy but thanks
I enjoy hating life btw, like I was happy b4 Islam and now I'm not and chose to not be because I have no need for happiness, I hate this dunya and only want the akhirah

But if u prefer this dunya I hope Allah gives u everything u want in this dunya until u enjoy your entire life then you die when you least expect it and regret wasting your entire life and now you have to face eternity of your evil actions

I have sleep insomnia and sleep deprivation, and fajr makes it kinda worse,
But idk I love the pain cos I know I get more reward,
seems like u never really understood the point in tests
the saahaba would get tortured for Islam and wouldnt care
the hypocrites would stay at home like p*ssios cos they were to scared to fight jihaad
Every Muslim has to decide who they wana be like, the sahaba, or the munaafiqs

 

[Taij4an]

recite in language I don't understand.

Learn the language then

 

[Sheikh Google]

90% of believers dont speak arabic. Are you gonna use that rhetoric on them to. Stop being petty just because someone has a different opinion on a thread you started.
