Understanding Prayer in Islam: Insights from Emirati Academic Wassim Yousef

Dubai United Arab Emirates (CNN)-The Emirati academic and religious affairs advisor, Wassim Yousef, said, “You will not find a punishment in the Qur’an for those who abandon prayer and not for those who disbelieve in it,” sparking interaction among activists on social media.

This came in a video clip posted by Waseem Youssef on his page on the God Almighty does not address the punishment of prayer for Muslims, but He addresses those who disbelieve in prayer…”

Waseem Youssef continued, saying: “Accordingly, ‘What led you to Saqr? They said, ‘We were not of those who prayed.’” (The verse) So this is regarding the disbelievers. The evidence is that God sealed it (the verse) “And we used to deny the Day of Judgment.”.. “So woe to the worshipers * who turn away from their prayer.” They are negligent * those who show off * and withhold help.’ Here God speaks regarding those who disbelieve in prayer, but God never addresses a Muslim who abandons prayer because prayer is intended by God to be accepted out of love, and if God mentioned it, it is as if he is forcing the Muslim to love him, and God does not force anyone to love him, so prayer is its motive. Love for God more than fear of God, that is why her punishment was not mentioned.

In a later comment, Waseem Youssef said: “Which is evidenced by the Almighty’s saying: Then following them there were successors who neglected prayer and followed desires. They will meet with destruction.. We say to him, complete the verse: Except he who repents and believes and does righteousness, then They will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all. Pay attention to what God Almighty says: And he believed indicates that he was not a believer! Our misfortune is that we learned everything except the beauty of the Qur’an in everything.”
