Asalaamu Alaikum,
My brother for you to come here with such an issue shows you have concern over your sins and your imaan (faith). That is a good sign as we should all feel that our sins are like a big weight or burden upon our shoulders.
So my brother know that Salaah is obligatory upon you from the moment you become baaligh (go through puberty). So you must calculate what you have missed from then up to now and make a firm commitment to Allah that you will never miss any of your prayers again.
So all is not lost my brother. If we ask of Allah sincerely during these blessed nights for forgiveness for all of our minor and major sins and bad habits with utter remorse and make a firm commitment to him that we will try our best to obey all of his commands and live our lives trying to please and get closer to him.
That we will not live our lives merely chasing this dunya (worldly life) which can end at any second but that we will focus on preparing for our death and make our focus the Hereafter.
Those are they who have bought the life of this world at the price of the Hereafter. Their torment shall not be lightened nor shall they be helped.
(Qur’an 2:86)
Remember: Zaid ibn Thabit (Ra) reported: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), said, “Whoever makes the world his most important matter, Allah will confound his affairs and make poverty appear before his eyes and he will not get anything from the world except what has been decreed for him. Whoever makes the Hereafter his most important matter, Allah will settle his affairs and make him content in his heart and the world will come to him although he does not want it.”
(Sunan Ibn Mājah 4105)
What better time to change our lives and get closer to Allah than during these blessed last few days and nights of Ramadan?
