Tips for establishing prayers as a new Muslim

As-salamu alaykum, I’m currently learning about Islam and haven’t officially said my shahada yet, but alhamdulillah, during Ramadan I managed to pray all five daily prayers consistently and even caught up on some I’d missed. Now it’s been about two weeks since I stopped maintaining that routine, and I feel guilty for missing prayers, but honestly, finding the discipline for five daily prayers can be really challenging. Sometimes I miss one and struggle to find the motivation to make it up later. Does anyone have advice or personal experiences to share? How do you all manage to wake up for Fajr? And is it acceptable to miss prayers occasionally? Would appreciate any supportive words from the community!

Sister, don't be too hard on yourself. The struggle is real! Try starting with just one prayer you can commit to, then gradually add more. Progress, not perfection.

Welcome! Your effort in Ramadan is amazing. Try using a prayer app with reminders-it helps me stay on track.

It's okay to miss sometimes; what matters is your intention to return. Allah is the Most Merciful. Just keep trying.

MashaAllah for your journey. The guilt shows you care. Just take it one prayer at a time, and don't give up!
