Without salah.
You are a nobody.
Even if you have the purest heart in the world
what does a pure heart mean if you are neglecting the One who created it?
You can be loved by people, admired for your character, and praised for being a good person, but none of that makes abandoning the prayer a small matter.
Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalī رحمه الله said:
“If Shaytan was expelled and banished from Jannah because of his refusal of a single prostration which he was commanded with, then how about those who abandon the 5 prayers every day and night, which include 34 obligatory prostrations?"
[al-Afnān al-Nadiyyah, 1/220]
Read that again!!
If one refused prostration could lead to such a consequence, then what about a person who repeatedly turns away from the prayer that Allah has commanded him with, five times every day?
Never become comfortable with leaving salah.
I repeat: NEVER...become comfortable with leaving salah.
