prayer book

Author's name: Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya

"His author detailed his issues, mentioning the opinions regarding one who deliberately abandons prayer: Should he be killed or not? And if he is killed, should he be killed like an apostate or an infidel, so that he is not washed, prayed over, or buried in Muslim cemeteries? Or should he be killed as a punishment while still being considered a Muslim? Do deeds become nullified and invalidated by abandoning prayer or not? Is the daytime prayer accepted at night and the nighttime prayer accepted during the day or not? Is the prayer of one who prays alone valid when he is able to pray in congregation or not? And if it is valid, is he sinful for abandoning the congregation or not? Is it required to be present in the mosque or is it permissible to perform it at home? What is the ruling on one who performs the prayer hastily and does not complete its bowing and prostration? What was the length of the prayer of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace? What is the reality of the brevity that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, pointed out? And finally, how was the prayer of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace?"
