The importance of Salaah

Question

I used to pray my daily salah properly on time but as in the future I've lost interest astagfirullah. I really want what I had before with Allah but don't know how to get it. Could you please tell me some ways jazkallah?

Answer

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 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. Merely making tawbah will not absolve you of the obligation of performing all the passed missed salaahs.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
