A: Namaaz is the most important pillar of Islam. The first thing a person will be questioned on the day of Qiyaamah will be in regard to namaaz. Severe and grave warnings have been sounded in the Qur’an and Ahaadith for the one who forgoes his Salaah. Make sincere tawbah to Allah Ta’ala for missing out your Salaah in the past and commence performing Salaah immediately. Similarly it is compulsory upon you to make qadha of the past Salaahs that you have missed.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
