Feeling Far from Faith and Struggling in Life

Salam. Lately I’ve been slipping further from my deen, and I can’t even bring myself to pray. It feels like everything in my life is crumbling, and I can’t see a way forward. I don’t feel that pang of guilt when I miss a salah or skip fasts anymore. That emptiness honestly terrifies me. Islam was once my anchor and the center of my world, but now it’s such a struggle to hold on. I’ve even fallen into smoking weed. Sometimes I wonder if I even count as a Muslim. I really need guidance and support.

Brother, guilt is a gift. It's better than a dead heart. Make istighfar even if you don't feel it, and trust that Allah will soften your chest.

Man, the fact you're scared means your fitrah is alive. Don't overthink-just make wudu and pray Fajr tomorrow. Small steps.
