Renowned Islamic scholar Dr. Israr Ahmed’s statement on the importance of responding to the Azan has ignited a conversation about spiritual devotion and prioritization of faith in daily life.

In a recent video he said:

“Ignoring Azan is a kind of Kuffar, it’s like you ignored that Allah is calling you and you kept doing your routine work, or you preferred this world’s stuff over Allah.”

The statement, emphasizing the gravity of disregarding the call to prayer, has resonated deeply with many social media users. Dr. Ahmed, known for his uncompromising stance on Islamic teachings, stresses that choosing worldly matters over prayer is a serious spiritual misstep.

The post has sparked mixed reactions online, with many praising the scholar’s reminder about the significance of prayer, while others debate the implications of his wording.

Religious scholars and community leaders continue to urge Muslims to prioritize their faith and heed the Azan as a divine summons. The discussion highlights the ongoing struggle between spiritual commitment and modern-day distractions, a topic that remains relevant in today’s fast-paced world.

Several social media users expressed agreement, emphasizing the importance of Salah (prayer) as a pillar of Islam. Others, however, pointed out that different life circumstances may prevent immediate response to the Azan, calling for a more nuanced discussion.

As the conversation continues, Dr. Israr Ahmed’s words serve as a stark reminder of the importance of faith in a world increasingly dominated by material concerns.
