Ask Qul - Islamic QA

Pearl of Wisdom

from the Imams (AS), 'Strive earnestly and work hard, and even if you do not manage to perform good deeds, at least do not sin, for verily the building of one who continuously builds without destroying [at the same time] will rise tall, even if it be plain and unadorned, whilst the building of one who builds but also destroys will almost never rise up.'

Bihar al-Anwar

Ibid. v. 70, p. 286, no. 8

512	praying missed salahas	When I was aged 7-13, I didn’t pray regularly and sometimes I didn’t pray at all. I really wasn’t a good Muslim during those years, but by Allah’s mercy I am on the Right Path now and for the past 3 years I have not missed a single prayer by purpose and Inshallah I will never miss one again. Is there any way I can make up for those missed prayers? I really want to read Qaza for every single one I missed, but I recently found out that cannot be done? Is that true? Is there any way I can make up for those prayers and prevent receiving punishment for those missed prayers (like when the angles will beat us in the graves for missed prayers)?	Answered
