Am I Doing Enough in My Deen?

I keep thinking about where I actually stand in Allah's sight. Am I just meeting the basics (which I'm fine with), or could I be doing more than I realize? I pray all five daily prayers on time and avoid major sins, but that's about it-maybe some dhikr here and there, you know? Honestly, I feel too lazy to do much beyond praying right now, probably because my mental state isn't the best. Still, I'm wondering if this is sufficient to please Allah. Even if it is, does that put me in the 'lower ranks' compared to others? Deep down, I really want to be among those close to Allah, like a favorite servant with His special mercy, so I'm curious if I'm anywhere near reaching those higher levels.

Bro, this hits home. I'm in the same exact boat. It's comforting to know others are going through the same doubts about where they stand with Allah. May Allah make it easy for us all.

Don't compare yourself to others, only to who you were yesterday. Comparison is a trap.

As long as you're fulfilling your fard obligations, you're on the right path. Insha'Allah, when your mental health improves, you can gradually add more voluntary acts.

Man, I've been there. That feeling of laziness is a trick. Start super small, like two extra rakat of sunnah after Isha. The consistency, not the amount, is what builds that closeness.

The fact that you're even asking this question shows you have a good heart and want to be better. That's a great sign in itself.

Keeping up with the five daily prayers is a massive blessing in itself, so don't undersell that. Allah is the Most Merciful, He knows your efforts.
