Jabir ibn Abdillah (RA) said that he heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:” Between a man and shirk and disbelief is the abandonment of salah (formal prayer).” (Muslim and Ahmad)
This hadith establishes that the barrier between a person and polytheism/disbelief is the performance of the five daily required prayers. This demonstrates how dangerous it is to abandon the salah. Salah, indeed, represents a clear division between a Muslim and a non-Muslim; it differentiates between those who are grateful to Allah (SWT) and those who are ungrateful.

Islam warns the one who withholds zakah of a severe punishment in this world and in the Herefater. His punishment in the Hereafter is depicted in the most eloquent terms in the verse in which Allah (SWT) says:” And those who hoard up gold and silver {Al-Kanz: the money, the zakah of which has not been paid} and spend them not in the way of Allah, announce unto them a painful torment. On the Day when that {hoarded gold and silver, the zakah of which has not been paid} will be heated in the fire of Hell and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, {and it will be said unto them}:’ This is the treasure which you hoarded for yourselves. Now teste of what you used to hoard.”’ (Qur’an 9: 34-35)
