Do We Need to Qada' prayer?

I came across a book written about the problems of performing ibadah and when I flipped over the pages, there was a topic regarding to prayer. My eyes glimpsed over a small catchy word qada' solat. The question was 'do we need to replace the prayers that we failed to perform in required time?' However, the explanation in the book was so confusing because the writer has answered the question with 'NO' word, which he means there is no need to qada' the prayers that are not performed in the required time.

Then I asked my husband and he told me that I need to replace the obligated tasks which I have failed to perform. It is the right of Allah SWT and we are performing the duty to fulfill the rights of Allah SWT.

One day, I went to visit my parents-in-law, and I saw this book 400 offenses in performing solat. The writer has explained this matter with the evidence from the saying of the Prophet pbuh. 

 
The book says:
It is an offense to delay in making up prayers. For example, when we left Zuhur prayer, it is a big mistake to replace it in the time of Zuhur prayer the next day.





As mentioned by Prophet pbuh:Meaning: "There is no negligence in sleeping. Indeed negligence took place only when we wake up. Accordingly, if one of you all forget to pray or fall asleep, it should be done as long as he remembers."
(Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah)

The hadith explains the act of negligence, happens when we forget or when we sleep. As long as we remember to perform prayer or as long as we are aware that we are supposed to qada' a prayer, that is when it should be performed, without any delay. It is important to prioritize the right of Allah SWT above all because what we are afraid is we do not manage to perform to right of Allah SWT as death comes without notice.
