الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
107:5 In this verse we are warned against being unmindful of Prayer. This neglect of Prayer may assume different forms. Some people do not perform Prayers at all and are Muslim by name only. There are those who say their Prayers but not regularly, others who say their Prayers but they perform them at home. They deem it useless to go to the mosque and attend the Prayer behind an imâm. Some of them do perform their Prayers in the mosques after an imâm but do not pay heed to the spirit of Prayer and do not complete it in accordance with the rules of its performance, their intention being to see others and be seen by them. During the Prayer, they are engrossed in irrelevant thoughts and perform it quickly and dismissively. There are yet others who do not perform their Prayers as devised by the Messenger of Allâh; rather they invent their own method of performing the Prayer. They disregard all historical evidence and the continued consensus of the ummah with regard to the performance of Prayer. All such types of prayers are condemned here.
