How to become regular in prayers: A thread.

Disclaimer: I'm no saint and struggling myself to fulfil all my faraiz. I'll only be sharing my experiences hoping that it can help someone.

1. I began with realising the importance of Salah, its meaning & understanding. Namaz is just a way to thank Allah SWT for his countless blessings & the best way to communicate with Him, who doesn't want to communicate to the One & Only?

2. Started offering the prayers which were the easiest for me that was, Asr & Maghrib. I was never sleeping or involved in important chores at this time which made it easier for me to offer Namaz. I promised myself to never skip Asr & Maghrib no matter what & that worked.

3. While thinking of performing Salah, my only struggle was to get out of bed & perform Wuzu. I was always too lazy to do that so I chose to stay in Wuzu as much as I could. Even if I went to wash my hands, I'd perform Wuzu to gain maximum sawaab & make Namaz easier.

4. When I started staying Ba-wazu most of the time & became regular with Asr & Maghrib, I started thinking why am I skipping the other three? This guilt in me made me develop a habit of trying to pray 5 times a day, I was not regular at this point but trying.

5. The last thing that worked for me was as downloading applications like Muslim Pro & Quran Tafsir which give Azaan reminders. The moment I used to hear Azaan, I would get up & pray. Because the more u delay the prayer, the chances of skipping it increase.

6. I used to only offer Farz & sunnah rakaat in beginning & completing the obligatory rakaat of all 5 prayers would feel no less than an achievement, this sense of success & achievement helped me pray 5 times a day for a long long time & after a while I started offering Nafls.

In conclusion, its never too late to start praying. Even if you don't pray once a day, begin now. Take it slow, begin from 1, try to pray as soon as your hear Azaan, stay Ba-wazu & remember, "Come to prayer, Come to success" is a call from Allah.
