Feeling Lost in My Deen

As-salamu alaykum, everyone. I come from a Muslim family, but lately I’ve been feeling like I’m just scraping by with the bare minimum in my faith. It’s tough because my siblings aren’t really practicing-they skip prayers and seem to get annoyed whenever our parents bring up Islam, maybe since they know we haven’t turned out as religious as they hoped. I end up feeling so guilty and worried about them, and honestly, it shakes my own faith too. I keep thinking about the akhirah, and the whole idea of eternity makes me scared, especially since I don’t read the Quran often and I feel like my prayers are rushed or not done right. For anyone who’s been in a similar spot, how do you deal with this kind of anxiety? It’s so heavy I can barely focus on daily life. And how did you manage to draw closer to Allah and learn the right way to practice Islam? How can I stop being so afraid of what comes next?

Brother, your concern for your siblings shows your iman. Don't lose hope. Make du'a for them in sujood, especially in tahajjud. Sometimes all we can do is be a quiet example. Focus on your own journey first-you can't pour from an empty cup. Trust Allah's plan.
