Calculated between the day i was born until the day i began praying. Used Excel to work out number of days of salat i have missed up until i begain praying salat. Works out around 7800 days.

The way i look at it, one day, in this life or the next, we each may know soooo much about islam, knowledge, whats right and wrong and etc. We each may one day pray 5 times a day and read quran say 5 times a day as well. But there will come a time where you may ask yourself, should i be striving for more? Is doing what im doing enough for allah? Will allah be happy with me if i just read my 5 salat and read 5 times a day quran. It might sound alot of praying for some people, but a time will come where you have to choose whether to carry on as you are and hope allah is happy with the prayers you are offering, or KEEP striving for more in the hope of pleasing allah more and more
Will allah be happy more with the person reading 5 prayers a day and quran 5 times a day or more happy with a person reading 5 prayers a day, quran 5 times a day and memorizing the quran and making up missed salat.

There is so much knowledge of islam to learn and sooo much you can do to please allah.

MashaAllah. You are right brother. What ever we do is not enough. Allah SWT gives us infinite amount of blessings from the air we breath, fully functional body parts, intellect, health to material things like house, car etc. And in return he asks us to do minimum farayad and those to ocome with bonuses like making an intention and thats it. Deed accounted.

Keep up this level of emaan and you will be successful inshaAllah.

Brother i dont mean to discourage you by any means but we need to be a little practical. Allah SWT knows that we are weak and could subject to exaustion. Thats why shuyukh are there to guide us step by step.

Brother its better to do something small but be consistent with it. If you start to sprint, you might give up very soon.

So dont pray from the time you were born because you will be going against the will of Allah SWT. We are obliged to pray from our puberty and if Allah SWT has set that rule, we should follow it.

So, calculate your prayer from age 13/14. I know you want to do excess and thats good but pacing is better for longer lasting emaan.

I really think you should get a shaykh as a teacher. Its like "teacher for life". You excel in deen, Allah SWT will excel you in "everything". And to excel in deen we need a tutor.

SF is full of helpful members, tell them your place and theyl find a shaykh for you.

With this height of emaan, i highly encourage you to give baya to a shaykh.

Read up on baya, tazkiya, tasawuf, tariqa etc and youl get a general understanding..

All the best my brother.
