"What could be the reason why someone finds it so hard to pray?"

This is due to their sins. The heavier their sins are, the harder their heart gets, then the harder it is to pray.

It's not just due to lack of knowledge. A lot of Muslims are aware of the rewards of salah, the consequences of its abandonment, and that it could lead them to Jahannam.

But it is their sins that keeps them away not just from salah, but from ANY kinds of worship.

Solution:

1) Give up your sins.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said,

“Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allah Almighty but that Allah will replace it with something better for you.”

[Musnad Aḥmad 23074]

2) Just go make wudhu'. Try your best to perform that prayer. Don't let shaytan or yourself delude you into thinking that you "don't have time." Make time for the one who Created time. Force yourself, as it will keep you away from sins.

Allaah said,

"Surely, Prayer keeps (one) away from indecency and evil, and certainly the Remembrance of Allah is the Greatest, and Allah Knows what you do." {Qur'an 29:45}

In a hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said,

“Verily, the Muslim prays while his sins hang over his head. Every time he prostrates, some of them drop. When he finishes his prayer, his sins will have fallen away.”

[al-Mu’jam al-Kabīr lil-Ṭabarānī 6125]

3) Do not lose hope in His Mercy. As long as you're still breathing, there's still hope. And the fact that you're reading this and still reading until this third solution, it only means that He is guiding you towards something good.

Whenever we sin, it doesn't harm Allaah. It only harms us. So fearing Allaah will lead you to a true love for yourself.

Allaah called you with love and Mercy;

"O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." {Qur'an 39:53}

And He is telling you to haste to repentance 👇

"And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped.

And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān] before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive,"

So do not mock around 👇

"Lest a soul should say, "Oh, [how great is] my regret over what I neglected in regard to Allāh and that I was among the mockers."

So it won't be too late 👇

"Or [lest] it say, "If only Allāh had guided me, I would have been among the righteous.

But yes, there had come to you My verses, but you denied them and were arrogant, and you were among the disbelievers." {Qur'an 39:53-59}

May Allaah guide us all and make praying and performing it on time easy for us. 🤲

Al-Imām ibn Hazm [may Allāh bestow mercy upon him]

“When a man is asleep, he departs from the worldly-life and forgets all types of happiness and all types of sadness [sadness, that results from thoughts and reflection upon past affairs]. If he regulated himself in the same state upon waking, he would be in a state of extreme happiness.”

The Messenger [sallal laahu aalayhi wasallam] said, “Treat your sick by giving Sadaqah”. [ 1]

AbuBakr Al-Khubaaziy [rahimahullaah] said: I had a very dangerous illness, so a neighbour of mine saw me and said: Act upon the statement of Allaah’s Messenger [sallal laahu alayhi wasallam], "Treat your sick by giving Sadaqah". It was summertime, so I bought many watermelons and gathered a group of poor people and children. They ate and then supplicated for me to be cured. By Allah! I did not reached the next morning except that Allaah granted me wellbeing. [2]

Tremendous Reminder

Ash-Shaykh Al-Mufassir Al-‘Allāmah 'Abdur-Raḥmān As-Si'dī رحمه الله said:

And beware of feeling regret over past affairs which were not decreed for you, or loss of health, wealth, a job and the likes. Let your focus and concern be rectifying the actions of the day you are in; for indeed a person is the offspring of their day - they do not greive over the past, nor do they look distantly in to the future where it is of no benefit to them.

And be truthful, fulfill your oaths and promises and be just in all of your dealings. Give people their rights in full and in abundance. Do so, with a soul at peace and an īmān (faith) that is truthful and sincere.

And busy yourself with your own shortcomings and your own affairs above the shortcomings and affairs of others.

And deal with every individual person according to what is appropriate for their mental state; whether young or old, male or female, the ruling class or the ruled.

Be gentle and merciful with every individual - even the wild or domesticated animals. Verily Allāh is Merciful only to His Slaves who show mercy.

Strive constantly in all your endeavors and affairs. Keep your mind open to any and every benefit - whether religious or worldly.

Once a donkey found a Lion's skin, and wore it.

All the animals of the jungle started to fear the donkey, thinking its a lion. The donkey saw them all respect him, so he got confident and out of so much excitement and happiness, he started braying.!

When the animals of the jungle heard the braying, they realized its not a lion but an imposter, because lions roar.

The animals said: 'If you had kept your mouth shut, we would have continued treating you with respect, but now you opened your mouth, you exposed yourself.'

وايي یو وخت خره د زمري څرمن موندلي وه، چې په تن یې کړه نو په نورو حېواناتو یې حملې شروع کړې، نور حېوانات یې له وېرې په تېښته شول. خره چې دا حالت ولید، له ډېرې خوښۍ او مستۍ یې په لوړ غږ نارې پیل کړې.
‏ګیدړه چې د نورو حیواناتو غوندې وېریدلي وه، څو شېبې تم شوه، کله یې چې ښه غوږ ونیوه، پوه شوه چې له زمري یې غږ توپیر لري.
‏نو خره ته ورنږدې شوه او په خندا یې ورته وویل:
‏«که دي خوله تړلې وای، شاید زه دې هم له وېري تښتیدلي وای، خو دا چې خوله دې خلاصه کړه، اصلیت دې راوښود احمقه

Anyone who gives up something for Allah’s sake will be given something better in its place

Imam As-Sadi [may Allaah have mercy upon him] stated:

This affair is found in many places in the Qur’an. Allah mentioned it in relation to the first immigrants who left their homes, wealth, and loved ones behind for the sake of Allah, therefore Allah substituted that for them with increased provision, honour, and authority in the worldly life.

When Ibraaheem [peace be upon him] disassociated himself from his people, his father, and that which they worshipped other than Allah [i.e. departed after his father threatened to stone him], Allah bestowed on him Ishaaq, Yaqub, and righteous offspring.

When Sulaymaan [peace be upon him] was diverted from remembering Allah by his horses, he got rid of them, therefore Allah substituted them.

فَسَخَّرۡنَا لَهُ ٱلرِّيحَ تَجۡرِى بِأَمۡرِهِۦ رُخَآءً حَيۡثُ أَصَابَ
وَٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ كُلَّ بَنَّآءٍ۬ وَغَوَّاصٍ۬

So, We subjected to him the wind; it blew gently by his order whithersoever he willed. And also the Shayaateen (devils) from the jinn (including) every kind of builder and diver.

[Surah Saad. Ayaat 36-37]

When the people of the cave [i.e. the young men mentioned in Surah Al-kahf] separated themselves from their people and what they worshipped other than Allah, Allah bestowed His Mercy on them, facilitated means of success and tranquillity for them, and made them a guide for the misguided.

And (regarding) Maryam [peace be upon her] Allah said:
وَٱلَّتِىٓ أَحۡصَنَتۡ فَرۡجَهَا فَنَفَخۡنَا فِيهَا مِن رُّوحِنَا وَجَعَلۡنَـٰهَا وَٱبۡنَهَآ ءَايَةً۬ لِّلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ

And she who guarded her chastity (virgin Maryam), We breathed into (the sleeves of) her (shirt or garment) (through our Ruh Jibraa-eel), and We made her and her son (Eesaa) a sign for the Aalameen (mankind and jinn)].

[Surah Al-Anbiya. Ayah 91]

Whoever gives up what their Nafs call them to – the vain desires, Allah will replace it for them with His love, their repentance to Him, and what is better from that which is gathered for them of the pleasures of this life.

[(1)] [End of quote]

Indeed, when considering the fact that the honourable and upright people in Imaam As-Sadi’s [may Allah have mercy upon him]

aforementioned statement were greatly rewarded for forgoing something in search of something more honourable for themselves, even though they did not sin, then it is more expected that any sensible person who errs will see the justification for an appeal that he or she give up—for the greater good—actions that might compound the error.

LIKE AN ANIMAL STRUCK BY CALAMITY..

Khalaf ibn Ismā'il said:

'It was mentioned to me by a person of sound intellect named Abū Maymūn: 'O Abū Ismā'il, know there are conditions for patience.'
I asked what they were.
He replied: 'One of the conditions of patience is that you know how to be patient, for whom are you patient, what you want with your patience. You will thus, be counted among them provided you have good intent. Perhaps your patience will be a means of purification for you, otherwise you are like an animal that was struck by calamity and was disturbed by it.."

Did you know?

The brightest star in our sky is called Sirius & is mentioned in the Qur’an by name in chapter "The Star".

And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius

وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ رَبُّ الشِّعْرَىٰ

Quran 53:49

1400 years ago people knew the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, however nobody knew the distance to this star.

The word "Star" & word "Earth" are separated by 861 letters. Today we know that Sirius is 861 centi light-years away from Earth. 8.61 light-years is equivalent to 861 centi light-years. The distance to Sirius is 861 centi light-years.

The first (10 days) of Ramadan is mercy, the middle (10 days) is forgiveness and the last (10 days) is being freed from the Hellfire.

O Muslims! Indeed the Taraweeh prayer is a worship and not just (robotic-type) movements and actions that the person doesn't know what he's saying or doing. The point is worshipping Allah, not enumeration of the raka'at (counting them down).
