Is Missing Salah Intentionally Kufr?
So intentionally missing Salah is not kufr? I mean there are many people who miss salah because of lazieness , or because they are unaccustomed to prayers, or because they do not even understand the real meaning of azan as it’s in arabic , or because they haven’t got the right approach by anyone for praying salah, or because they are preoccupied with worldy affairs etc etc, but they are trying somehow and in intention to establish prayers with time by gaining knowledge about Islam , knowing the verses, knowing the real purpose of Islam or simply just by connecting with god over time.. We can’t call this attitude “kufr” . Society, how a person is approached at home, how a person approach religion(some people prefer to act after knowing that exact thing in detail which he/she is going to follow), busy life resulting in not being able to know about religion and etc.. The term “KUFR” applies only when a person deliberately denies the truth and decides that he will never pray, inshort to rebel against god. However, we can only point out the attitude of “Kufr” because we do not have the right to call anyone a Kafir. So Is my understanding correct?
– Yes, it is the same attitude. – We have no criteria to judge people’s intentions but theoretically this statement is correct.
