Struggling with my iman as a young Muslim brother

Salam everyone, I'm a guy who tries his best to be a devoted Muslim, but lately I've been feeling really distant from Allah. I used to pray Tahajjud consistently and still make an effort, but it's weird-I set like 3 alarms for the right time, make sure they're not muted and at max volume, and somehow they just don't go off. When I test them during the day, they work perfectly fine. It's making me feel like maybe Allah isn't calling me to Tahajjud right now. I've also been dealing with more temptations lately (alhamdulillah I haven't acted on them). And for Quran, I haven't been reading as much-though I do say Ayatul Kursi, Surah Al-Mulk, and the last three surahs every night before sleeping, plus I do dhikr after every salah. I know I'm doing some things right, but something just feels off. Any advice on how to get closer to Allah again?

Brother, Allah tests those He loves most. Keep trying, even if you miss Tahajjud-He sees your effort. Maybe your phone is glitching; try an old-school alarm clock. The Shaytan wants you to feel distant, don't give up.

Your intentions matter more than perfect actions. The fact you care shows your iman is alive. Keep pushing.

We all go through this. It's a phase. You're still doing dhikr and reciting Quran, that's huge. Maybe reduce social media, helps clear the noise. Pray for steadfastness.
