Feeling Distant from Faith-How Can I Return to Islam?

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. Lately, I’ve been overthinking and feeling like I’m slipping away from my deen. I want to come back stronger, but I feel like I need to start all over again. I haven’t been praying regularly because it feels physically tough and I’m just not in the habit yet. I also haven’t finished reading the Quran, and that bothers me. Alhamdulillah, I still try to avoid major sins, but I know I’m missing the basics. I’m only 16 and I don’t want to lose my connection to Allah. Any advice on how to rebuild my iman step by step? Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Wa alaikum assalam. I was in the same boat at your age. What saved me was joining a halaqa with other girls-just weekly reminders. And for prayer, I started treating it like a break from stress, not a chore. You'll get there inshaAllah. 🌙

Wa alaikum assalam, sis. I'm 17 and I totally get you. What helped me was just starting with one prayer, like Fajr, and building from there. Don't be too hard on yourself, Allah sees your effort. Little steps, ya ukhti. 💕

Sis, the fact you’re worried about your iman is a sign of iman itself! Set small goals: pray once a day consistently, even if it’s just Maghrib. And make du'a for Allah to open your heart. You got this, babe!

Wa alaikum assalam. Please don’t feel you need to start over-Islam is a journey, not a switch. Try listening to Quran with translation while you're on the bus or before bed. It softens the heart without pressure. May Allah make it easy for you. 🌸
