Question: Years of missed salah
Assalamu alaikum, for many many years I’ve missed salah or faked doing it intentionally, and during those years I was slowly but surely leaving the fold of Islam. However in recent times I have began to feel closer to Allah and my faith has been growing much stronger, and I have began to feel the weight of my own actions and regret them immensely, especially after returning from Umrah. It is my intention to repent every single day for as long as I live for all that I have missed out upon, however I’d like to know if it is also possible for me to make up for all those missed prayers through other means such as qadha prayers and how best I can make up for them. Please guide me on this matter, Jazakallah.

It is sufficient to make one Tawba (repentance) and no need for Tawba for every Salah missed.

Those missed prayers can be performed anytime in your lifetime.
You can pray your Qadha with your Ada (punctual) prayers. You can also pray multiple Qadha prayers in one day. Do what is easy and do not overwhelm yourself.

And Allah knows best
