Answer:

 

Miss three Friday prayers

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Your Question: could you tell me that i have heard that any one who misses the friday prayers for the three continuesly he will be atuometically counted in kaufars. 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 62 Surah Jumuah verses 9-11:

9 O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly) hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah and leave off business (and traffic): that is best for you if ye but knew!

10 And when the Prayer is finished then may ye disperse through the land and seek of the Bounty of Allah: and celebrate the Praises of Allah often (and without stint): that ye may prosper.

11 But when they see some bargain or some amusement they disperse headlong to it and leave thee standing. Say: "The (blessing) from the Presence of Allah is better than any amusement or bargain! And Allah is the Best to provide (for all needs)."

 

To leave any and all worldly pursuits and earnestly attend the Friday mid-day sermon and congregational prayer is an absolutely obligatory Command of the Lord Most High upon those who have professed belief in Him and the Last Day.

 

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 1047 Narrated by Al-Ja'd ad-Damri

The Prophet (saws) said: “He who leaves the Friday prayer (continuously) for three Fridays on account of slackness, Allah will print a stamp on his heart.”

 

In light of the above narration of the Messenger of Allah (saws), a person who intentionally misses three consecutive Friday prayers without a valid reason, Allah will seal or put a stamp on his heart.

 

The hadith does not mean that one who misses three Friday prayers intentionally without a valid reason, automatically (Allah forbid) leaves the fold of Islam, or becomes an apostate, or needs to revert back to Islam again! Such a person, should turn to Allah in sincere repentance and Taubah and seek Allah’s forgiveness for his slackness; it is expected that he will find His Lord Forgiving and Merciful.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
