@akaprincess

what you said about “somebody might not pray while accepting that it is a fault on his part vs someone rejecting the notion that he has to pray” .. I know someone who belongs to a certain sect of Islam, and they do not pray, nor learn to read the Quran, nor fast, nor follow the Propher PBUH.. and a bunch of other things.. yet she says she is Muslim.. I am NOT in way shape or form saying she is wrong, nor her beliefs are wrong or that nor any disrespect any such thing.. my question is just that, is Islam, in the Quran says at a minimum you have to do the above, and if you are not.. how is that bieng a Muslim?

Well the Qur’an itself says to establish salat. So what I’m saying is that if someone says for instance that they don’t need to pray altogether, then that would take one out of the fold of Islam, i.e. for denying a clear commandment.

On the other hand someone might not pray but acknowledge that it’s wrong on their part and that they have a duty to pray.
