Transform Your Life – I’ve felt that I need to reconnect with Allah more frequently since I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’ve been missing my prayers and haven’t been reciting my Quran.
I realized the extent of this when I was on a phone call with a friend when he asked him to pray, but I ignored his request and said, “Oh, okay, go on,” and then my wonderful grandmother needed to remind me that it was time to pray. I felt embarrassed and shocked at how numerous times it occurred… If I’m honest, I’m in a state of sadness in my life now.
About a year ago, one of my classmates caused me to feel a connection with her. It is not related to my prayers, but about 9-10 months later, she parted ways with me for a different person, which seemed like a childish act, and I’ve continued to move through my life ever since, but this event caused me to be sad and depressed for a long time.
I’m sure God is the one who can solve all things, and indeed, I’ve heard from people who said, “If your business with Allah is done, he will grant you everything.” I’m not saying I’m not convinced of this, but I’ve felt I’m being a liar because I haven’t been able to keep my daily prayers.
It feels as if the devil has got my attention. I figured this was terrible. I’m not intelligent enough to be able to deal with this.

It would help if you thought about what occurred in the past and sought out help when you are feeling depressed and down.
