“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is prayer; so whoever leaves it, he has committed Kufr.’”

We know that after that the ‘Ulamā' discussed the issue of the Kufr of Tārik As-Salāh, of whether the one who leaves Salāh has disbelieved or not, and one can go back to the books of Fiqh to see what they said about that - it is the opinion of Imam Ahmad that if a person leaves it out of laziness then he is a has disbelieved, while some others have said they leave the fold if it’s intentional. The difference of opinion is besides the point. The point is that the most important worship is Salah, so we should never abandon it. It is the absolute bare minimum yet we see people being praised for establishing all 5. In fact, many a times I have seen sisters ambushed FOR praying all 5 - Being called “nerdy” or “extreme” or “extra”. And we seek refuge from this.
