Feeling guilty about missed Salah? Here's what you can do.

As-salamu alaykum, everyone. I'm hoping for some advice because I'm feeling really guilty about my past. There was a time when I wasn't practicing properly and I let my prayers slip away, making weak excuses about being 'too busy' when I knew it was wrong. Now my iman feels stronger and I truly want to make up for all those missed Salah, but I've lost count of how many I owe. For any brothers or sisters who have been in this spot, what's the best step to take to seek Allah's forgiveness and fix this? Jazakum Allahu khayran.

I was in the same boat. Asked my local imam for guidance. He helped me figure out a realistic plan to catch up. Maybe talk to one?

Brother, just start now and keep it consistent. Allah is the Most Merciful. The past is the past.

Make sincere tawbah and try to make up what you can. Don't let the number overwhelm you-just do your best, one prayer at a time.

Don't stress over the exact count if you've lost it. Make a general intention to make them up and do as many as you're able. Focus on not missing any from now on.

Your guilt shows your iman is alive. That's a good sign. Just don't give up.
