Gen-z and faith struggles

Salam alaikum, I need to get something off my chest. I grew up in a non-Muslim country, so I didn't have many Muslim friends. A few years back, my close circle and I were practicing-we'd make dua together, share iftar during Ramadan. But now? I just started university, and when I reconnected with my old friends, almost all of them have become atheists. Some still believe in God, but they say they can never follow a religion. It really bothers me because I might be the only one left who can say "I am a Muslim." And with all the anti-religion posts on Instagram and everywhere, sometimes I feel my iman shaking. But alhamdulillah, I'm holding on to my faith-I'm not letting it go. It just weighs on me, you know?

Bro, that's heavy. May Allah keep you firm. University is a test field for iman. Keep the right company, even if it's online. I'm from Pakistan, and many youth face this. Stay strong.
