Having doubts about Islam and struggling with my faith

Assalamu alaikum. I've been facing a lot of inner turmoil lately. It's been maybe a month, perhaps longer. I feel like my life is full of sins-I watch inappropriate things and get pulled into wrongdoing. It's gotten so bad that I'm starting to question if Islam is actually the truth, and even whether Allah exists. I often defend Islam, refuting false claims and attacks on our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him), but inside I'm wrestling with doubt. I need clarity and certainty. How can I be truly convinced that atheists are wrong? I’m scared-what if when I die there’s just nothing, and they were right? I haven't prayed consistently or felt a connection to Allah. How do we believe in something unseen? I know that’s what faith is, but how can we be sure we're on the right path?...

Just take a step back and reflect on the universe, akhi. How could all this come from nothing? That's way more irrational than believing in a Creator. Plus, the atheist view on morality is empty-we know right and wrong deeply, that's from fitrah.

Bro, the fact that you're scared of atheism being right shows iman is still in your heart. Those whispers are from the shaytan, don't let him win. Start with one prayer a day, just one, and build from there. May Allah make it easy for you.
