Struggling to find my way back to salah

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. It’s been quite some time since I was regular with my prayers, and honestly, I feel awful about it. I know Allah is always there for me, but I really want to refocus and get back on track. How do I actually return and stay consistent? Any practical tips for a uni student like me?

Make lots of dua even after you slip. Forgive yourself quickly. And don't underestimate the power of Asr-it breaks the long study afternoon groove.

The guilt you feel is a sign of iman, so don't let shaytan use it against you. I started praying exactly where I sat-no perfect prayer corner, just a quick sajjada on my uni room floor. Convenience matters when you're rebuilding.

Something that low-key saved me was tracking prayers in a journal with tiny stickers. So childish, I know, but seeing a full week of golden stars for Fajr made me so proud. It gamifies ibadah without disrespecting it.

Oh, I've been there! What helped me was downloading an app that chirps the athan notification. Honestly, that sound pierces through my Netflix binges and laziness. Also, try praying with a roommate; it creates gentle accountability.

Sis, I feel you so much. Start with just one prayer-Isha was my gateway. Make wudu before sleeping, even if you're exhausted. It felt like a hug from Allah every night. Baby steps, ya ukhti.
