How do I make up for the prayers I missed after reaching the age of 33? Is sincere repentance sufficient, or is an abundance of supererogatory prayers needed, along with the hadith "Repentance abrogates what came before it"? Does that eliminate [the need for] humility? And how do I make up for seven missed Ramadans of fasting?
Sincere repentance erases sins and expiates transgressions, but it does not absolve one from the rights of people, expiations, and acts of worship such as prayers. Therefore, it is incorrect to use the argument that repentance obliterates what preceded it to claim that making up for missed acts is not obligatory.
