How To Calculate Qaza e Umri Namaz
Calculating Qaza-e-Umri can get confusing, especially when you’ve missed prayers over many years.
It becomes even more complex for women due to their monthly periods and other situations where they’re not required to pray, like pregnancy or postpartum recovery.
That’s why we built this tool — to make things easier.
Just use the Qaza Namaz Calculator above. It takes all these factors into account and gives you a solid estimate based on the details you provide.
But remember, this is still an estimation. If you have other personal exemptions you know about, be sure to adjust your count accordingly.
What Is A Qaza Namaz?
What is a Qaza Namaz?
In Islam, Muslims are required to pray five times a day. The time for each prayer is fixed. If someone doesn’t offer a prayer within its time, and the time expires, that prayer becomes Qaza.
A Qaza prayer is one that wasn’t offered on time.
Intentionally missing a prayer without a valid reason is a serious sin in Islam.
Anyone who misses a prayer must do two things: sincerely repent, and make up the missed prayer as soon as possible.
Even if years have passed, those prayers are still due and must be offered.
What Is Qaza e Umri Namaz?
As soon as a Muslim reaches puberty, they are required to pray five times a day for the rest of their life. But many people don’t start praying regularly until years later.
For example, someone might reach puberty at 14 but only become regular in prayers at 24.
What about the prayers missed during those 10 years? They don’t disappear — they must be offered back gradually.
This is called Qaza-e-Umri: the total of all missed prayers over a long period. To start offering them, you first need to calculate how many you owe.
That’s exactly what this tool helps you do.
How to Pray Qaza Namaz and Qaza-e-Umri?
If you miss a prayer and it becomes Qaza after you’ve become regular, you should offer it as soon as you can. These are recent Qaza prayers and shouldn’t be delayed further.
But when it comes to Qaza-e-Umri — prayers missed over months or years — the total can be in the thousands.
You’re not expected to offer them all at once.
What you should do is calculate the total as best as possible and create a plan to start making them up gradually.
The method of praying both Qaza and Qaza-e-Umri is the same. You only need to pray the Fardh and Witr (if applicable) parts of each prayer. There’s no Qaza for Sunnah or Nafl (like Tahajjud)
For example:
- Fajr: Only pray 2 Fardh (skip the 2 Sunnah)
- Dhuhr: Only 4 Fardh
- Asr: Only 4 Fardh
- Maghrib: Only 3 Fardh
- Isha: 4 Fardh + 3 Witr
This way, the process becomes easier to manage and maintain.
How Do You Offer Qaza-e-Umri? Simple.
The easiest way is to pair every regular prayer with one Qaza-e-Umri prayer.
Here’s how it works:
When you pray Fajr, offer 2 additional rakats of Qaza Fajr right after it.
When you pray Dhuhr, follow it with 4 rakats of Qaza Dhuhr.
Do the same for Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.
By doing this daily, you’re offering back one full day’s worth of Qaza each day. In one year, you’ll cover a full year of missed prayers.
Want to go faster? Double it. Pray 2 Qaza-e-Umri sets with each regular prayer, and return two years’ worth in a single year.
The key is consistency. Go at a pace you can manage. Don’t burn out.
Allah SWT sees your effort. Even if you pass away before completing all your Qaza, Allah will reward your intention and may forgive the rest, because He is the Most Merciful.
What Is the Niyat of Qaza-e-Umri?
When offering regular Qaza prayers, scholars say you should make the intention (niyat) for the specific prayer you missed. For example, if you missed Fajr yesterday, your niyat should be “I am offering the Qaza of Fajr from yesterday.”
But Qaza-e-Umri is different. Most people don’t remember exact dates for thousands of missed prayers. And that’s okay.
Instead, your niyat should be general but sincere. For example, if you’re praying a Qaza-e-Umri Zuhr, simply intend:
“I am offering a Qaza-e-Umri Zuhr from my total missed prayers.”
That intention is valid and enough. (Source)
