Are we losing touch with Islamic basics? Let's talk honestly

As-salamu alaykum dear brothers and sisters. This has been weighing on my heart recently and I wanted to share some thoughts and hear what others feel. I've noticed something when spending time with practicing Muslims - family, friends, those who pray regularly and fast. There seem to be some significant gaps in our foundational Islamic knowledge. I'm talking about basic things: the sequence of the Prophets (peace be upon them all), understanding the beautiful Names of Allah, essential Quranic facts, important events from our rich Islamic history. Nothing overly complicated - just the building blocks of our faith. And honestly? I'm right there too. I had a humbling moment recently when I realized I couldn't properly explain things I thought I understood well. Sometimes I wonder if it's because we're consuming Islamic content so passively these days - listening to lectures, watching short videos, streaming talks - without ever really challenging ourselves to retain and apply what we learn. There's a real difference between hearing information and truly knowing it. What do you think? Is there sometimes a disconnect between how practicing someone appears and how much Islamic knowledge they actually possess? And more importantly - how can we adults (not just children) rebuild that foundational understanding in ways that will actually stay with us? Genuinely seeking your perspectives here. JazakAllahu khayran for your thoughts and time.
