Does not Praying make you a kafir?

Answer:

..... If one doesn't believe in Praying, like those who rejected Zakat which caused the battles of apostates, then he/she becomes a disbeliever.

If one is lazy, or physically tired and wouldn't Pray because he/she doesn't want to Pray a nonsensical Prayer, then he/she would not be an infidel.  Here is the proof:

‏29:45 اتل مااوحي اليك من الكتاب واقم الصلاة ان الصلاة تنهى عن الفحشاء والمنكر ولذكر الله اكبر والله يعلم ماتصنعون

[029:045]  Recite that which hath been inspired in thee of the Scripture, and establish worship. Lo! worship preserveth from lewdness and iniquity, but verily remembrance of Allah is more important ولذكر الله اكبر. And Allah knoweth what ye do.

Notice in this Noble Verse Allah Almighty Commanded the Muslims to establish Prayer.  But the Almighty finished the Noble Verse by saying that the remembrance of Allah is the greatest thing to do.  The context here says that remembering Allah Almighty and Glorifying Him is greater than Prayer itself.

Therefore, one who does not Pray due to physical limitations would not be an infidel.  I know there is a Hadith that says "The one who leaves Salat (Prayer) is a kafir (infidel)".  The problem with such too-general Hadiths and the cults that abuse them is that they do not reveal the details.  They're too general and too open that it is easy to use them to condemn all or most Muslims by the wholesale.  This is completely wrong and shows a great deal of ignorance in Islam.

We all must Pray:

Please do not use this post as an excuse to further abuse your neglect of Prayer.  I declare my innocence before Allah Almighty from all such people.  I also seek refuge in Allah from all laziness and satan.  Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, used to make a similar dua.  We all must Pray to Allah Almighty.  Allah Almighty Said:

[051:056]  I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.

I myself do my Salat walhamdulillah.  But I just wanted to respond to those who might use such Hadiths as clubs to beat other Muslims' faiths and to belittle them and to eventually apostatize them.

Quran Miracle: The Jews' and Christians' scribes changed and still change the Words.  Proven with images, text and videos from their corrupt bible and books!  See how they removed words and altered words.

Bible Hoaxes on GOD:  Rebekah's story is a clear and indisputable proof that many of the Bible's accounts are full of hoaxes!

MORE LIES ON GOD: Rebuttal to Jochen Katz on FOX News' lying on their motto (Balanced Lies Rebuttal).

Who was the sacrificed son?  Isaac or Ishmael?  Even the altered Bible thoroughly supports that it was Ishmael [1] in many passages.  And in Islam there is no "El" (God) in names as in Ishmael or Gabriel in Hebrew?  Is the GOD of Islam different?  Allah Almighty allowed for His Holy Name to be shortened (as "El" in Ishmael, and Lillah for Li-Allah in the Quran, as in Alhamdulillah) in both Islam and Judaism [1].

Differences between the Noble Quran and Bible only prove Islam's Truthfulness and Divinity.

GOD became concerned that the Babylonians' Tower that they were constructing will reach Him???

Bible defines "Lying Spirits by GOD" to mean GOD MAKES YOU LIE; you have no will (2 Samuel 12:7-12).

Made to be prostitutes by GOD:  In 2 Samuel 12:7-12, King David's wives were turned into ***** prostitutes by GOD Almighty [1] as a punishment for David's sins with Bathsheba.  This means that GOD Almighty can create custom Laws for punishment even if they fully contradict GOD Almighty's Moral Code on morality and chastity.  Also, seduction and RAPING of virgins isn't a physically punishable crime in the Bible (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).  See Deuteronomy 22:25-29, Exodus 22:16-17.

Jesus vs. GOD on castration and emasculation.  GOD in Torah despised it while Jesus commanded it.


Castrating 7-year old boys:

Forget Aisha was 9 when Prophet Muhammad consummated their marriage.  Her father was also the Prophet's closest companion and the first elected Islamic Caliph after the Prophet died.  Jesus castrated and emasculated himself, and he created a major plague in the Christian world that continues till this day.  Did you know that young boys as young as 7 were castrated in the Christian world, and under the blessing of the thoroughly sodomized priests of the barfatican?





By the church!


Matthew 19:12 Jesus commanded his followers embrace, and to advocate for and promote self-castrations:

  



Islam came to free the Jews from the "burdens and shackles" (7:157) of their hardened Law, and to free the Christians from their "conjecture" (4:157), and to restore the Original Divine Religion of GOD Almighty, Islam, and to invite all of Mankind to Allah Almighty's Light and Guidance of Islam.

300 years before Islam, Paran was Mecca

Jesus and OT spoke highly of Palestinians and Arabs as great and genuine believers of GOD Almighty.


Jesus and OT Prophets had high regard for Palestinians and Arabs in general:

1-  He will return an Arab ("for as lightening that comes from the east....")
2-  Job in OT and Canaanite woman in NT were called Perfect.
3-  Jesus' parable on being good neighbors parable, he used good Palestinians as an example.
4-  Jesus spoke about evil Israel prophecy in Daniel 11:45 in Matthew 24:15-18, and spoke about Judea being the good land, which is the Palestinians' West Bank.


Even David Ben-Gurion, the founder of the state of Israel, admitted that the Palestinian people in Palestine are the original ancient Hebrews:



GOD coming from the "East" = Islam:

Palestine 1948:  The invaded unwalled Israel Ezekiel prophecy:

Palestine 1948: The invaded unwalled Israel Ezekiel prophecy (Ezekiel 38:10-11; Ezekiel 43:2).  GOD will then come from the "east" and liberate it (Ezekiel 43:2).

3-year old girls raped:

Bible condones 3-year old girls were raped under the command of Moses and his men:

"Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that has known a man by sleeping with him. (Number 31:17).
[This] refers to her who has slept with a man as well as her who is suitable for intercourse, even when she has not slept with a man...
But all the young girls who have not known a man by sleeping with him, keep alive for yourselves. From here R. Shimon b. Yohai used to say: a Proselyte girl who became a proselyte in the age of less than three years and one day, is rendered fit to marry into the priesthood." [137]

Said Rabbi Joseph, "Come and take note: A girl three years and one day old is betrothed by intercourse. And if a Levir has had intercourse with her, he has acquired her. And one can be liable on her account because of the law prohibiting intercourse with a married woman. And she imparts uncleanness to him who has intercourse with her when she is menstruating, to convey uncleanness to the lower as to the upper layer [of what lies beneath]. If she was married to a priest, she may eat food in the status of priestly rations. If one of those who are unfit for marriage with her had intercourse with her, he has rendered her unfit to marry into the priesthood. If any of those who are forbidden in the Torah to have intercourse with her had intercourse with her, he is put to death on her account, but she is free of responsibility [M.Nid. 5:4].

How big was the first New Testament?  The first 200 years of pagan Christianity was forged by the pagan churches that were appeasing the pagan emperors and societies.  7 Roman emperors have thoroughly burnt as much of early writings of believers as possible.  From this pagan churches were born and were allowed to be built and for pagan Christianity to spread.   But they are all false; unoriginal and not Islam as the original believers were in Palestine.  Remember, Jesus called them Muslims (Luke 6:40).
