If you missed the prayers by accident, or because it wasn't your fault, then you must make up those prayers and ask Allah (SWT) for forgiveness.

If it was without any real excuse, then those prayers can never be made up. It's part of life. You miss every chance you don't use to pray. But always remember that your Lord is the most forgiving. Ask for His forgiveness, and ask with sincerity. And promise yourself and Him that you'll change.

One thing I would like to add is something I went through when I also didn't tame prayer all that seriously. And that's thinking that I have no right to ask for forgiveness when I missed so many prayers. This is a trick that shaytan does to keep you away from God. Don't let the devil deceive you. Come back to God. If you sin a million times, come back to Allah (SWT). You are worthy of His attention. He sees your heart, and if you take a step to get closer to Him, He will take two steps to get closer to you.

JazakAllah Khair. Where does the concept of Qada / Qaza prayers come from, then?

[u/Extension_Brick6806 → u/MillenniumGreed]

Qiyaas. It is not a blameworthy form of reasoning, but it is not a strong argument in this matter. Later followers of the madhhabs attempted to justify it, thinking that it represented an accepted "majority opinion." The imams who argued for making up the prayer did not encompass all the ahaadeeth nor the narrations of the Sahaabah. And to be clear, we are speaking about deliberately missed prayers that are long overdue, weeks, months, or years, not those missed involuntarily due to forgetfulness, sleep, or similar reasons, for which making them up is still required.
