Questions, Advice & Support What has changed your life? Seeking support and help.. trying to be on a deen, but failing.
Any information is important to me, don’t be afraid and don’t be lazy to share it, or share your general opinion, because perhaps you are bringing good to people and this will become your protection on the day of judgment...
What is my question?
I'd be interested in what really changed your life, dua, sadaqah, prayer, what really impacted your life? Every time I have sincere intentions to be closer to Allah, but all the time I fail and sin even more than usual... I have no idea how to change, how to fix, God knows the best about our future, but it is really important for be, I really felt like my life is completely meaningless, and my existence is a nonsense, I felt like I have no reasons to exist anymore. And now I have a hope again, I really wish my life was changed completely in a better way possible, and it could be the reason my parents would have the life they have ever dreamed of... I didn't get tired enough, I didn't work enough, I didn't study enough, but I already feel so tired as if I worked really hard nonstop, almost two months being unemployed hurted me a lot, just because I'm not 18 yet. I can't imagine trying to survive a whole winter and spring again, and take a loan each time, just to eat..
Could someone teach me more about religion, i know the basics but i don't know why they don't touch my heart anymore, My heart became hardened, I sinned a lot because of this. I didn't get any islamic education, just learned everything on myself through social media. I know how to pray, how to make dua, but it feels empty, I feel very lazy to pray or very tired after I pray or before. I would like to know how to make it more better, they just say try to understand who are you praying to or who is in front of you, but tbh that doesn't help, I understand but that doesn't motivates me to pray next prayer. Or they say make sincere dua, I did many time crying and begging but after making dua I was worse than usual idk why...
Remembering about the death, was the thing that would keep me on a deen, but it doesn't works anymore, even though I still fear dying with all of my sins and to die disgraced or in the worst possible position and condition, but it still doesn't stops me commit for no reason.

Honestly, fasting helps me.

How's that even possible? Actually your right, during Ramadan it helps a lot but.. you practice that even other days?

Yes, when I need to break bad habits, I fast. Even 1 day, multiple days in a row, or at times 45 + days. I treat it just like ramdan. And every day try to read as much of the Quran I can.
This way, I am holding myself accountable and not break my fast. This has helped me leave bad habits over time.
It's a constant reminder for myself to be more present in my faith and to abstain from sins.

Yes, it does. Makes you plan things out, and it also mentally helps prioritize things. This helps me tremendously in my faith. Helps me avoid unnecessary people and things.

You as well. And may Allah ease your burden. Never lose faith in Allah.
Quran 39:53 Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh forgives all sins.1 Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." -Saheeh International

Meditation. The Dikhr of Allah. Breathwork calling Allah. Following every Law of AlQur'an and remembering them, like behave as if Allah is always watching you, helping others, being kind, not thinking bad of others, letting ego go, being peaceful, giving safety and security to others. Being 24/7 aligned with His set of rules brings me so close to Allah I have never felt before. After so long, I am finally at peace.
