Abandoning Solat Willfully is from the Greatest of the Major Sins – Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim

Imām Ibn Qayyim (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said:

“There is no difference (of opinion) among the Muslims that abandoning the Obligatory Solāt (Prayer) willfully is from the most grievous crimes and from the greatest of the major sins .

Also, that the sin (of willingly abandoning prayer), in the sight of Allāh, is greater than the sin of killing a soul, usurping the wealth (of others), and it is greater than fornication and adultery, stealing, and consuming intoxicants.

That the one (who abandons the prayer willingly) exposes himself to the Punishment of Allāh, His Wrath, and (Allah) humiliating him in this world and the next (Ākhirah).”

-قال الإمام ابن القيم – رحمه الله تعالى

لا يختلف المسلمون أن ترك الصلاة المفروضة عمدا من أعظم الذنوب، وأكبر الكبائر. وأن إثمه عند الله أعظم من إثم قتل النفس، وأخذ الأموال، ومن إثم الزنا، والسرقة، وشرب الخمر. وأنه متعرض لعقوبة الله وسخطه وخزيه في الدنيا والآخرة.
