Is the Calamity of One Who Doesn’t Pray Greater than that of Iblis?
The meaning of the phrase that says the calamity of one who does not pray is greater than the calamity that befell Iblis is not correct for several reasons which are detailed below.7,115When is a person regarded as neglecting prayer, and what is the ruling on him?

Conclusion: The view that the one who does not pray is a disbeliever does not imply that a specific individual is to be deemed an apostate with consequences such as annulling his marriage, depriving him of inheritance, not burying him in the Muslim graveyard, and so on.
