Place for Those that Miss Prayers
Allah Ta'ala states, "Then after them came those degenerates who wasted prayer and followed their lusts, then soon they will encounter a valley of the hell." (Surah Maryam, verse 59)
My Beloved Prophet sallalaho alaihe wasallam's beloved devotees! The Prophet's alaihimus salaam, were always aware of the Magnificence of Allah Ta'ala and His anger and their eyes were always moist with tears. However, many people came after the Prophet's alaihimus salaam that threw away the practices of the pious predecessors. Never mind desirable or preferable acts; they threw away a great compulsory worship like prayer (Namaz). Either they did not agree that it was a compulsory worship, or they did not want to go through the trouble of fulfilling it. Never mind fulfilling it, they did not even respect the orders and commands of Allah Ta'ala but were too busy in fulfilling their desires. They must remember that they will have to pay for their crime.
My Beloved Prophet sallalaho alaihe wasallam's beloved devotees! Allah Ta'ala has mentioned three things in this verse.
1) They missed their prayers; By missing their prayers and by their carelessness they became transgressors (fasiq). Or they prayed it incorrectly or at the wrong time and became misguided. Or they prayed it correctly, but because of backbiting, gossiping, jealousy, and envy, their good deeds were wiped away. These are all different forms of missing the prayer.
Hazrat Abdullah Bin Mas'ood radiallaho ta'ala anhu says that missing prayers does not only mean to completely miss the prayer, it means that they delayed praying it, that is, prayed it late.
2) The second thing that is mentioned is that they began following their desires. The biggest and worst desire is infidelity and polytheism. (Kufr and Shirk)
3) The third thing that is mentioned is that they will be thrown into "Ghay." This is a lowly valley in hell and because of its punishment the other parts of hell ask for safety from it. It has also been described as a very deep well or a deep stream containing puss, urine and excrement, in which the people of hell will be punished. Remember this punishment is for the person that dies without asking for forgiveness.
My Beloved Prophet sallalaho alaihe wasallam's beloved devotees! How awful a valley "Ghay" is? Can any of us withstand its punishment? Definitely not. It is imperative that we do not give in to our desires and stay away from the crime of missing prayers. May Allah Ta'ala guide all Muslims to guard their prayers. Aameen
