Peace Mr.Popat

Let’s take this one step at a time …

You wrote this - "“The covenant between us and them (that is, believers) is prayer, so if anyone abandons it he has become an infidel.” (Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Abu Dawood, Nisai, Tirmidhi).

“What lies between a man and infidelity is the abandonment of prayer.” (Muslim)

“If anyone abandons the afternoon prayer, his deeds are of no avail.” (Bukhari).

Mu’adh bin Jabal (RAA) reported Allah’s Messenger (SAW) as saying: “If anyone abandons prayer intentionally he has no claim to Allah Most High.” (Ahmad) "

Now which parts in these ahadith does it say “kufr” that I am saying “kafir” to???

You know a non-muslim wont pray salah. It is obligatory on a Muslim to pray.

It is obvious that one cannot be a Muslim if he reject any one pillar of Islam.

Question is, why did Muhammad PBUH say one becomes an infidel if he abandons prayer. infidel is an infidel and he wont pray, but a Muslim who abandons prayer becomes one of them.

All I’m saying is it only implies that the sin of it is as big as someone who is committing kufr. Same applies for someone who rejects the prophet of Allah, he will be kafir(disbeliever) of that prophet, but he can still remain Muslim.

Though, someone who believes in every prophet cannot be called a kafir, or even a non-muslim, since the fundamental belief of Islam is to believe in all prophets of Allah.
