What if I miss any prayers?

[love_quran]

What should I do if I have missed any prayers? Is there some way to make up for doing this or do we just focus on being sure not to miss anymore?
What if I say all my prayers but some of them are late (from a few minutes to a couple of hours)?

[rk9414]

Praying after the expiration of time (Called Qadaa Prayers)

By unanimous agreement qadda (make up prayers) should be performed if time had expired because of deliberate negligence, oversleep, forgetfulness or even mere doubt. They should pray the qadda as soon as they remember.

[aadil77]

same as what brother rk has said, just offer the fardh raka'ats of the salah (except after esha if you missed witr salah you should perform that too) you have missed with the intention of making up missed prayers

Assalamu Alaikum,

there seems to be a swell of people who today say that once a prayer is missed dileberately, then you can no longer make it up. This was the opinion of a few scholars, most notably ibn Hazm and ibn Taymiyyah. However, it is the majority opinion that if you miss your prayers, you should make them up.

If you're praying late, you're essentially making up the prayers you missed. mashaAllah that you're taking care of this so soon after you converted! I've been a muslim for nearly a decade, and it took me several years to get my salat in order. May Allah (swt) continue to bless and reward you!
