Can starting with just one prayer a day really turn things around?
Assalamu alaikum. I wanted to share something that's been on my mind lately, and I'd love your insights, insha'Allah. So, I haven't been praying for a while. The thing is, prayer and Islam in general remind me of a really difficult period when I dealt with religious OCD. It was so stressful that I just... stopped. I still make dua and sometimes dhikr, but I haven't been able to bring myself to pray-not even Jumu'ah. What I'm wondering is: if I start again, even just once a day, would it actually make my life better? Could it help things fall into place, or maybe Allah would give me something even better than what I'm hoping for? My mind still sees prayer as tied to that anxiety, so it's hard. I just need to know if it could bring some positive change, something to help me take that step.
