I missed a Prayer Four Years ago

Question :

Four years ago we were on a leisure trip and I missed a prayer (either the Zuhr prayer or the 'Asr prayer - I do not recall now). Bearing in mind that I missed it due to negligence or laziness on my part, and I now regret the sin I committed, and ask Allah's forgiveness from every sin and error, what should I do, and is there any atonement upon me?

Answer:

You must turn to Allah in true repentance and you do not have to make up for it because deliberately abandoning the obligatory prayer is an act of disbelief according to the words of the Prophet:
"The covenant which is between us and them is the prayer, and whoever abandoned it has disbelieved.

And his words:
"Between a man and disbelief and Shirk is abandoning the prayer.

And there is no atonement for this except sincere repentance.
