Looking for a gentle way to reconnect with Islam after a long break

As-salamu alaykum, everyone. I've felt pretty disconnected from my faith since my teenage years, mainly because of some tough experiences related to Islam that caused me a lot of pain. Recently, though, I stumbled upon an ayah about repentance (alhamdulillah, I haven't been into anything extreme-just living a quiet life at home) and it really moved me. I'm thinking about wearing the hijab again and drawing closer to Allah, but I want to do it in a more compassionate and gentle way than what I was exposed to growing up. If anyone has any tips or kind advice on how to ease back into things, I'd truly appreciate it. Jazakum Allahu khayran in advance!

I was in a similar place. Follow kind scholars on social media who focus on mercy-it made a huge difference in my perspective. Wishing you peace.

This is so relatable. For me, reading about Allah's mercy and forgiveness (like in Surah Ar-Rahman) helped heal a lot of the hurt first. It makes coming back feel like coming home.

Sending you so much love. That ayah found you for a reason. Just take one gentle step at a time, sis.

I totally get that. Taking it slow is beautiful. Maybe start with listening to short Quran recitations while you're relaxing at home? It can be so peaceful.

Wa alaykum as-salam. Maybe reconnect with small daily duas first? Like before you sleep. It felt less overwhelming for me when I was coming back.
