What is the way to maintain prayer and overcome excessive sleep and lack of devotion?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Neglecting prayer is a grave sin and a major transgression. There is no excuse for a Muslim to abandon it as long as their mind is sound. If sleep overwhelms you and you miss the prayer time, there is no sin upon you, and you must pray immediately upon waking. It is not permissible for you to miss prayer after its time has entered due to sleep if you know that you will not wake up. If you sleep before the time of prayer enters, then take the necessary measures to wake up.
