Umurongo: 58

وَإِذَا نَادَيۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ٱتَّخَذُوهَا هُزُوٗا وَلَعِبٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٞ لَّا يَعۡقِلُونَ

(58) When you call for Prayer^[1207] they playfully take it ˹as an object of ˺ mockery and scorn. That because they are people who do not reason^[1208].

[1207] al-Ṣalāh (Prayer) is singled out because it is the most outwardly distinctive feature that defines the Believing community and sets it apart from the rest.
[1208] Taking those who attend to Prayer for laughing stock just shows how ignorant these people were; either they just could not grasp the essence of devotional worship (cf. Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī), or they were so taken away by antipathy that they derided what they knew was real.
