💡 Explanation: Again, this is a severe warning, not a licence for us to declare other Muslims disbelievers — only Allah judges a person's faith. The message for us is simple: never treat prayer as something small. Leaving it on purpose is among the gravest things a believer can do, so guard your prayer above all else.

💡 Remember:

Again, this is a severe warning, not a licence for us to declare other Muslims disbelievers — only Allah judges a person's faith.
