Struggling to Reconnect with My Faith

Assalamu alaikum, I'm a young Muslimah who's really in need of sincere advice on coming back to Allah. Lately, I keep falling into sin, and at night I'm filled with guilt and worry that I might leave this world in a state of disobedience. I hardly ever pray. I've tried watching Islamic talks and reading tips from others online, but nothing has helped me truly return to my deen. I keep making dua for Allah to soften my heart and guide me to the straight path. The only time I manage to pray is when something bad happens in my life, which sometimes makes me ask Allah to let something difficult occur just to force myself to pray regularly. I wear full hijab, and I often feel shy when my non-hijabi friends step away to pray, making me reflect on my own shortcomings.

Your honesty is so relatable, sis. Make those duas and keep trying. Allah is the Most Merciful, even a step back toward Him is huge. Don’t lose hope.

I felt this in my soul. The guilt is heavy, but Him accepting even one sincere dua means there's hope for us. Insha'Allah.

May Allah make it easy for you. Start small; maybe just one prayer a day. Don't be so hard on yourself.
