Keeping track of Qaza
Making up years of missed prayers feels heavy, but small steps add up. Set your total, then press Done each time you complete a Qaza prayer. The bar shows how far you have come, and the plan tells you roughly how long it will take at the pace you choose. For example, 5 Qaza prayers a day clears 5 years (9,125 prayers) in about 5 years, and 15 a day in under 2 years.
Tips
- Pair each Qaza with an obligatory prayer, so it becomes a habit.
- Check your local times in the prayer times tool.
- Use the tasbeeh counter for dhikr after prayer.
This is a counting aid, not a fatwa. For the rules of Qaza in your situation, consult a qualified scholar.
Frequently asked questions
How do I estimate my missed prayers?
Count from the age you reached puberty (or the date you started praying regularly). Use the years-missed box: it gives each prayer one per day for the years you enter. Adjust the counters afterwards if you know more precisely.
Which prayers need a Qaza?
The five daily obligatory prayers, and in the Hanafi school also Witr, which is wajib. Sunnah and nafl prayers are not made up.
When can I pray Qaza?
At any time, except the times when prayer is not allowed: at sunrise, at the sun's zenith and at sunset. Many people add one Qaza after each obligatory prayer.
Should I pray them in order?
Many scholars advise making up the oldest first when you can. Ask a scholar about the rules of order (tartib) for your school.
