Salam everyone! Seeking some guidance to get closer to Allah this Ramadan

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I’ve been having a really tough time this Ramadan. Before Ramadan, I was already falling behind with my salah-sometimes missing a prayer here and there, then eventually stopping completely for about three months. I told myself that when Ramadan came, I’d turn things around, start praying consistently, and be a better Muslim. But now that Ramadan is here, I’m still struggling. I’ve been missing a couple of salahs each day, and at the beginning, I even missed an entire two days of prayers. It feels like I just can’t motivate myself to get up and pray, and honestly, it might just be laziness on my part. I’m really trying to find a way to get back on track-if anyone has advice, I’d be so grateful for it.

I totally get this feeling. Maybe try finding a prayer buddy? Sometimes having someone else expecting you makes it easier. You got this!

The fact that you're worried about it shows your iman is still strong, mashallah. Just keep trying, Allah loves the consistent effort even if it's small.

Oh sis, I've been there, the struggle is real! For me, setting phone reminders and praying as soon as the reminder goes off helps. Don't be too hard on yourself, Allah SWT sees your effort. Every small step counts 💕

Sister, may Allah make it easy for you. Just start small, even if it's one prayer a day. Don't let the Shaytan win. Dua is your greatest tool.
