Feeling lost in my faith
Assalamu alaikum. About five years ago, I embraced Islam at 15, but for the past year or two, I’ve found it really hard to keep up with practicing. I still believe, but being around people who aren’t Muslim and not seeing the deen lived out has made it tough. Last night, my mum asked if I’m still Muslim, pointing out I don’t eat pork, and wondered what I’m doing with my Qurans. I told her I feel unable to practice right now, though I truly believe in Allah, His messengers, and Islam. I don’t want to call myself Muslim if I’m acting like a kafir, but my belief is still there. It’s just not something I can fix at the moment. I’m really torn about what to do-I know taking a break from the deen isn’t okay. Any advice would be appreciated.
