Will Allah hold me accountable for all the prayers I missed in the past?

Salaam alaikum, brothers and sisters. Growing up, I missed more prayers than I can remember-probably thousands, and I'm not proud of it. Alhamdulillah, I've turned things around now. But I came across a video that mentioned when we die and the angels question us, they might ask about all the prayers we didn't perform. So I'm worried: how can I make up for years of missed salah? I don't want to be punished for mistakes from my past. Please, what's the way to handle all those missed prayers?

True repentance is key. Some scholars say you don’t have to literally make up everything if you truly regret and commit to never missing again. But it’s better to do both if you can. Don’t despair, Allah is Al-Ghafur.

Man, I feel you. Scholars say to make up what you can reasonably do, even if just one qada with each prayer. It’s about sincere effort.

Tawbah wipes it all out bro. Repent sincerely, never miss another, and don’t overthink the past. Your guilt is a sign of iman.

Wallahi this hit me hard. I started calculating but it’s overwhelming. So I just pray as many qada as I can after fajr and isha. Keep going akhi.

Bro, same boat here. I was told to just start praying consistently and add extra sunnah prayers. Allah’s mercy is huge, don’t lose hope.
