Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
Offering Salaah is equally important for a hafiz and a non hafiz. The punishments for missing prayers are the same for everyone. However, the amount of reward a person receives depends on us. Things which increase the reward are: intentions; performing all Faraaidh, Waajibaat, Sunnah’s and Mustahibaat’s; praying with humility, sincerity, concentration, tranquility, khushoo and khudoo etc.
