THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm al-ithnayn. 7th day of Sha’abaan, 1444AH (Monday 27th February. 2023). There are those who fast while they do not pray Salaat, Will their fast be accepted?. BismilLah. 

Salaah is the most fundamental pillar of Islam; it is the hallmark of faith and the key to paradise. So, no one can exaggerate the importance of salaah in Islam. We read in the Qur'an: "On the Day of Judgment, those in hellfire will be asked, 'Why are you in hell?' they would answer because we were not among those who used to pray, nor were in the habit of feeding the poor. Rather, we were simply indulging with those who used to indulge and we used to deny the Day of Reckoning until death came upon us." (Qur'an 74: 43-47).

Therefore, no Muslim can afford to neglect the salaah without risking his salvation. The Prophet (peace be upon him) stressed the crucial nature of salaah when he said, "The covenant between us(Muslims) and them(non-Muslims) is marked by salaah, so whoever abandons it is guilty of the breach of covenant." 

No one will want to fast if he or she doesn't see himself as a Muslim as such we must strive to pray whilst fasting. It's like buying a sim card without a mobile phone.

May ALLAH keep guiding our eemaan and make us among those who offer our Salaat properly and on time. Aameen.
