Looking for My Spiritual Community
Assalamu alaikum everyone. I'm living in a place where Muslims are few, and I keep falling into the same pattern with my faith. Whenever I face difficulties, I turn back to Allah with such sincerity - praying, making dua, truly seeking His help. But once things ease up, that devotion slowly slips away. My salah starts feeling empty, like I'm just going through the motions, until eventually I realize I'm missing prayers altogether. My connection with the Quran weakens too. Every Ramadan, my heart softens so much. I feel this deep longing for a real relationship with Allah, and I repent sincerely. But after the blessed month ends, that laziness creeps back in. This cycle has repeated for years now, and I'm tired of it. I don't want Allah to just be my emergency contact when life gets hard. I want to love Him consistently through good times and bad. I want that genuine connection that doesn't fade. I think part of my struggle is doing this alone. I need good company - people who discuss Islamic topics, reflect on Quranic verses, remind each other about our purpose, and support one another in becoming better Muslims. If anyone else feels this way or has advice about finding or creating such a circle, I'd really appreciate it. May Allah accept our intentions and guide us all with His endless mercy.
