Are good deeds and intentions accepted despite not regularly performing Salah due to busyness and forgetfulness? And is people's love a sign of Allah's love, or could it be a test? And how can one reconcile the Hadith of the woman who harmed her neighbors and entered Hellfire with the Hadith that Salah is the pillar of religion?

He whose good deeds outweigh his bad deeds is blissful, and he whose bad deeds outweigh his good deeds is under the will of Allah. Neglecting prayer is a great sin, and abandoning it may invalidate good deeds. For repentance, one must make up missed prayers or increase in supererogatory prayers and seek forgiveness. Allah accepts repentance and pardons sins. The love of creation is a sign of good if it comes from people of righteousness and piety. The woman who harmed her neighbors and was foretold of the Fire is not necessarily destined to abide in it eternally; rather, her torment is due to her sin, and then she will ultimately enter Paradise.
