Consequences of Missing Salah
Author: Hazrat Allama Mohammed Shakir ‘Ali Noorie
(Ameer- Sunni Dawat e Islami)
Wherever we look in the world today, we see Muslims in a state of uneasiness and restlessness. It is as though peace, tranquillity, satisfaction and success have turned their back on us. We are spending our days and nights like a helpless, orphaned community. And the world sees us a rich morsel of
food that they can crush or destroy as they see fit. We may have assumed a number of reasons for our downfall according to our intellect and intelligence, but the reasons stated in the Holy Qur’an are the truthful and correct reasons. In reality, we are not familiar with our glorious past or the lives of our pious predecessors, nor do we desire to instil their characters in ourselves or spend our days and nights as they spent theirs.
We celebrate their remembrances but we do not emulate their habits in our daily lives. We readily talk about their miracles but we are unaware of their enthusiasm for worship, their piety, and their desire to crush and destroy (worldly) desires. This is why we see in history that as well as being punctual and obedient to the Qur’an and Sunnah, our pious predecessors were the inheritors and rulers of the world. Our state is such that we are sinning on the earth and losing our lands at the
same time.
Let us look at the consequences of forsaking the way of our predecessors in the light of the Qur’an and attempt to familiarise ourselves with their habits so that we may save ourselves from ruination in both worlds.
