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!
