Finding My Way Back to Faith
Assalamualaikum, everyone. I’ve grown up in a Muslim family, but sometimes I feel like I’m not as connected to my faith as others. It’s like the stories from the Quran feel distant, and thoughts about Jannah and Jahannam just seem like ways to deal with fears about the afterlife. Honestly, I struggle with even believing in Allah, and it’s hard to admit that out loud. I still fast and pray, but without that core belief, it all feels empty. I don’t mean to upset anyone by saying this. Lately, the more I try to learn, the more confused and distant I feel. Has anyone else been through this? How do you keep your faith so strong? I could really use some advice or personal stories.
