Also explain  how to atone for sinning after repentance.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>The prayer is so  central and foundational an obligation that a believer cannot be  imagined to have missed it. The Sharia\u2019h has not devised any punishment.  However, if a believer who has missed prayers repents and shows  commitment and diligently offers the salah later on can hope to be  rewarded and forgiven. Allah Almighty has most mercifully declared that  He accepts our true repentance. Breaking the commitment with God (<em>tobah<\/em>) is a great sin. However, it is not of a legal nature. Therefore, the atonement for the act is again true repentance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-01<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6094\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wanted to know  what is the punishment for leaving the obligatory prayer.
