Is It Normal to Feel This Way?

Assalamu alaikum everyone, I really need some advice... It's been five days since I started praying and learning about Islam. I was born Muslim, but I wasn't brought up practicing, so I've had to figure things out on my own. But these past five days, I've been hit with intense panic attacks, thinking I'm not a good enough Muslim, that I don't deserve to enter Jannah. I spoke to my mother (she's a revert) and she said it's the shaytan trying to stop me from worshiping Allah, and that I shouldn't worry because I'm a good person... but still, there's this feeling in my heart that's just eating me alive. Do all Muslims go through this? Or is it just me? Please help.

Feeling unworthy? Welcome to the club! But remember, Jannah is for sinners who repent. We're all works in progress.

Wa alaikum assalam sis. Yes, it's totally normal. Shaytan attacks those turning back to Allah. Keep going, don't let waswasa win. Your heart is sincere, that's what matters.

Girl, you're not alone! I've been there. The beauty of Islam is that Allah's mercy is infinite. Small steps, consistent deeds-that's what He loves. Hang in there!

Salam sis. Your mom is right. This is classic shaytan tactics. The fact you care so much shows your iman. Seek refuge in Allah and keep praying. It gets easier, I promise.

Aw hun, I know that heaviness. It's a test, but you're stronger than those whispers. The Sahaba worried about hypocrisy; it's a sign of faith, not lack of it.

Honestly, I still get this sometimes. But I remind myself that Allah is Al-Ghafur, Ar-Rahim. He knows we're trying. Don't let panic stop you from the peace of salah.

Assalamu alaikum! This is actually a good sign-it means your heart is alive. Dead hearts don't worry. Make dua, read Quran, and trust Allah's mercy. You'll be fine inshaAllah.
