How can I maintain regular prayer after a ten-year interruption, so as to fulfill my duty to God?

Satan strives to lead the servant astray, and self-reproach for shortcomings is a sign of goodness. It is important to know the reason for negligence in prayer, as it might be due to bad company or sins. Prayer is a command from Allah, who created and provided, and it is a great blessing that should not be met with negligence. The example of the righteous who maintained their prayers demonstrates its importance. "Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a book at appointed times," so it must be performed at its due time and made up if missed, along with abundant seeking of forgiveness.
