This is not about guilt. It is about returning. The Prophet ﷺ said the first thing we will be asked about on the Day of Judgement is salah. This 7-day reset gives you a compassionate, practical system to rebuild — starting from exactly where you are.
"How do I start praying again after missing salah for years?"
Begin with sincere tawbah (repentance) — Allah forgives all sins. Then start with ONE prayer: choose the prayer you're most likely to manage, and commit to praying it consistently for 7 days. Once that prayer is anchored, add the next one. Don't try to fix everything at once. This 7-day reset is designed for exactly this situation.
Make sincere tawbah for missed prayers. Then commit to ONE prayer today — whichever is easiest for your schedule. Just one. Pray it with full presence. Log it in MyTazki.
⏱ 5 minutesYesterday's prayer becomes a habit. Today add a second prayer from the remaining four. Set phone reminders for both. The goal: two prayers, both prayed, both logged.
⏱ 10 minutes totalToday read the translation of Al-Fatiha and understand each line. When you pray, you will now know you are saying: 'Guide us to the straight path.' You are not just reciting — you are speaking.
⏱ 15 minutes learningFajr is the hardest and most important prayer. Sleep 30 minutes earlier. Set two alarms. Prepare your prayer mat and wudu water the night before. When you pray Fajr, the Prophet ﷺ said the angels witness it.
⏱ Fajr prayerToday: all five prayers. Set five alarms. Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha. Don't worry about Sunnah prayers yet. Just the five fard. Log each one. You are building infrastructure.
⏱ Full day practicePray all five prayers, but today slow everything down. Between each position, pause for 2 seconds longer than usual. In sujood, ask for one specific thing. After prayer, sit for 60 seconds in silence.
