Struggling with faith but feeling a pull towards Allah

Salam everyone. I'm kind of in a weird spot-I don't fully believe in the traditional sense, but I've been feeling this strong urge to connect with Allah and pray. It's strange; whenever I think about Him or the idea of salah, my heart gets soft and I almost want to cry. But then I remember my sins, all the things I've done wrong, and I feel so unworthy. I'm confused about my iman, and it makes me hesitate. I want to be close to Him, but I don't know if I even deserve forgiveness or nearness. What should I do?

Sis, that softness in your heart? That's Allah calling you. Don't let shaytan whisper you're too far gone. Just start, even if it's one sincere sujood.

Girl, that pull you feel? That's pure fitra. Ignore the overthinking. Even if you crawled back, Allah would run to you. Wallahi, just take that first step towards salah.

I'm literally in tears reading this. Same. But someone told me, 'He created us sinful, so He could forgive us.' Run to Him, don't walk.

I was exactly there. The guilt can be a mercy, not a blockade. Remember Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem. Your longing itself is a gift. Start small, sister. Allah sees your struggle.
