Feeling disconnected from my faith and seeking advice
Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I was raised Muslim, but my family wasn’t too strict-more like, pray if you feel like it. So I never really took Islam seriously. Then I met a brother at school who taught me so much and inspired me to learn more about the Quran and improve myself, Alhamdulillah. But now it’s been a year since we last spoke, and I’ve slipped into bad habits: haram relationships, spending time with the wrong company, and consuming haram content. I still manage to pray all five prayers, Alhamdulillah, but I often delay them or rush through them. I know it’s not right, but it feels like I can’t control myself. Even listening to the Quran feels difficult now. I fear I might lose my connection to Islam entirely if this continues. I’d really appreciate any advice or a wake-up call. JazakAllah khair for reading.
