Does my inability to perform Sunnah and Taraweeh prayers due to my responsibilities towards my two children mean that Allah does not love me?

The answer

Preserving the Sunnah and supererogatory acts brings one closer to Allah and earns His love, as He says in the Hadith Qudsi: "My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory acts until I love him." Abandoning supererogatory acts is generally blameworthy, even if one does not sin by neglecting them, but it leads to neglect and dereliction concerning the obligatory duties. One is advised to strive and persevere in performing supererogatory acts, and if an overwhelming excuse prevents it, we hope that you will be rewarded for what you used to do.
