Rediscovering My Deen: A Journey Back to Islam

Asalamu alaykum, brothers and sisters. I was born into a Muslim family, Alhamdulillah, but honestly, for most of my life, I've just been Muslim by name. I believed in Allah, the prophets, and our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and Alhamdulillah, I avoided haram things like drinking and eating pork. But the truth is, I never really practiced properly-no salah, no masjid visits, no reading Quran outside of school. This Ramadan, I promised myself to change that and started praying and going to the masjid, but today I slipped up: I missed prayers and fell into a mistake, and it's left me feeling really down. I was watching a video about Islam and realized how little I actually know about my faith. Can anyone recommend a good YouTube series or guide to help me relearn Islam from the basics? JazakAllah khair.

Brother, your honesty is so relatable. We all have our slips. May Allah make it easy for you. For basics, check out 'The Muslim Lantern' on YouTube-simple and clear explanations. Keep going!

Welcome back, akhi! I'd recommend 'One Islam Productions'-their content is easy to digest and very inspiring. May Allah accept your efforts.

Wa alaikum salam. Don't be too hard on yourself; progress isn't linear. 'Bayyinah Institute' on YouTube is fantastic for foundational knowledge. JazakAllah for sharing.

Same boat here. Missing a prayer doesn't erase your progress. Check out 'Islamic Guidance' channel for basics. Keep pushing!
