Salam

and warm welcome!

The questions are in regards to making up salat that i have missed over the 21 years. Is there a hadith which states it is obligatory to make up salat that is missed in the past? If so care to share.

Scholars unanimously agree than making up missed salah is also wajib/fardh. As for the hadith, here is one:

« مَنْ نَسِىَ صَلاَةً فَلْيُصَلِّ إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا ، لاَ كَفَّارَةَ لَهَا إِلاَّ ذَلِكَ »

"Whoever forgets [performing] salah, he must pray when he remembers it. There is no substitute/kaffara for it other than this. (Bukhari)

Also when praying qada salat for these missed salats, is it okay to pray all fajr salat qada that i have missed over the 21 years, then start on zohar and the asr then maghrib and then isha? Is this okay? Or do i have to pray one of each fajr then zohar then asr maghrib isha, then repeat?

If I remember correctly although both are valid, but the second method is preferred day-by-day order 2fajr - 4zuhr - 4asr- 3maghrib - 4isha -3witr. And yes, don't forget to pray 3 rak'at of witr as it is wajib to make it up as well.

Also it is okay to spend time at night making up fard salat, i hear at night time is a good time to spend praying and making up salat?

Actually night is one of the most rewarding times to pray salah; yes go ahead with it. But keep it a pace that you can continuously afford. Don't overburden yourself with one time overloads and causing to cease it eventually. So it is better to stick to a less but continues pattern.

My intention is to definetly make up missed salat, but just had a few questions regarding it.

The intention of a Muslim is better than his actions. May Allah reward your intention and make you steadfast in His Deen.
