For example, such a person offers the salahs of tahajjud, ishrāq, ḍuhā, awwābīn, and extra nafl at night.

A person who prays excessively is indeed fortunate and blessed. The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has declared such a person a friend most worthy of admiration!

Establish Obligatory Salah at All Costs

What an honour for those who offer salah abundantly! If only we were also granted the ability to offer salah in such a way!

Unfortunately, our situation is quite different.

*    Many people do not pray at all.

*    Some miss their prayers entirely.

*    Even those who do pray struggle to offer five daily salah regularly.

*    Some perform two salah a day, some four—but not all five.

*    If they wake up for fajr, they pray—if not, they let it pass.

*    They are busy with work during ẓuhr and ʿaṣr, so they miss their prayers at that time.

How regretful is this situation? A servant of Allah not making time to stand before his Lord in prayer! May Allah have mercy on us!

Remember! Deliberately missing just one obligatory salah is haram and is a sin that leads to Hellfire.

Allah says in the Quran:

فَخَلَفَ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِھِمۡ خَلۡفٌ اَضَاعُوا الصَّلٰوۃَ وَ اتَّبَعُوا الشَّہَوٰتِ فَسَوۡفَ یَلۡقَوۡنَ  غَیًّا (ۙ۵۹)

So, the unworthy succeeded them who neglected the prayer and followed desires, so soon they will meet the terrifying valley of Ghay (in Hell).^[1]
