The Gateway to Unbelief

SUMMARY: The abandonment of prayer is the gateway to polytheism and unbelief.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Zubair that he heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah saying. I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) observing this: Between man and polytheism and unbelief is the abandonment of salat.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَبَيْنَ الشِّرْكِ وَالْكُفْرِ تَرْكُ الصَّلاَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of prayer in Islam. It is narrated on the authority of Abu Zubair that he heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah saying that he heard the Messenger of Allah say that between man and polytheism and unbelief is the abandonment of salat. This means that if a person does not pray, they are at risk for falling into polytheism or unbelief, which are both major sins in Islam. Therefore, it is important for Muslims to make sure they are regularly praying as prescribed by Islamic law in order to stay away from these sins and remain faithful believers in Allah's religion. Additionally, this hadith teaches us about how important it is for us to be mindful about our religious obligations so we can stay away from sinning and maintain our faithfulness towards Allah's religion.
