Finding My Way Back to Salah
Asalamualaikum brothers and sisters, I'm really struggling to keep up with my five daily prayers. Being the youngest in my family, I see my parents and siblings all praying regularly and being deeply connected to their faith, but I just can't seem to get into that rhythm myself. When my family asks if I've prayed, I sometimes end up lying and saying yes, which makes me feel awful. I've been praying to Allah SWT to make it easier, and I do read Quran and fast during Ramadan, but even on fasting days, my prayers aren't consistent. I'm fully aware of the weight of my actions and feel deeply ashamed. I've got prayer apps that I barely use, and when prayer time comes, I often just retreat to my room without praying. I'm sincerely asking for your support and any practical tips to help me not only start praying regularly but to grow as a Muslim. Jazakallah Khair for your kindness.
