Feeling Lost in Faith and Seeking Light Again

Assalamu alaikum, brothers and sisters. I'm struggling to open up about this because I haven't shared it with anyone. Over the last few months, my iman has slowly faded away, and now it feels completely gone-though I desperately wish it wasn't. I embraced Islam about two years ago, and my faith was once so strong, but now it's just vanished. I've tried turning to the Quran again, but when I read, it feels empty, like reading any ordinary book. I stopped praying a while back, and even when I try to pray again, it feels meaningless. I've put in so much effort to believe again, making countless sincere duas begging for guidance, yet nothing seems to change. It makes me feel even more distant, as if Allah is ignoring my struggles despite seeing how hard I'm trying. I'm starting to fear falling into disbelief, and it terrifies me because Islam once brought me so much joy. I really need advice on how to find my way back. Please, share any guidance you have, and make dua for me.

This hit home. The emptiness after reading... I get it completely. Maybe try listening to a beautiful recitation instead of reading yourself? Sometimes that can reach you differently.

My duas are with you. Sometimes it helps to just sit quietly and remember a time you felt close. Don't force it.

Oh sis, I've been there. It's like your heart just shuts off. It's terrifying. Please know you're not alone, and this phase will pass, inshallah. Keep trying, even if it feels empty. The effort itself is worship.
