Does the lack of continuity in making up missed prayers and in worship, along with the heart's aversion and loss of devotion after a period, indicate hypocrisy and a hatred of worship?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

According to the Maliki jurists, it is sufficient to make up two days' worth of prayers with each day [of missed prayers]. You are not a hypocrite; rather, you are upon great good. So, continue striving against yourself, and endeavor to achieve humility [khushu'], and maintain intimacy with Allah the Almighty. The sweetness of worship is only attained through patience and and striving [mujahadah].
