I need help with a big issue I'm having to deal with and that's losing faith. I only became a religious again in December, couple of months ago. A better way to put it is that I became Muslim again in December since I was only Muslim by name and I broke probably every rule accept one or two. So anyway I started of caring a lot about religion and tried to "fix up" my life and my lifestyle, it went well till about mid March. I prayed 5 times a day and tried to learn and research as much as I can, I started to over come bad habits and all the other usual stuff that I shouldn't be doing. Then I just started to slowly miss out prayers, habits would come back slowly and I wouldn't try to educate my self anymore. Now it's just gotten really bad, I would miss days and sometimes go on without any prayers for a week maybe more. I'm basically going back to like a was before and that's technically atheist in a way, apart from the fact I know there's a God. The west does effect my lifestyle and what I see and do everyday as well as the people I'm around so it's a bit harder for me to be religious and stay religious in this atmosphere. I'm not going to lie to myself, I do like it how it was like before, just doing my own thing and not caring about anything, I enjoyed myself more and only since I became attached to Islam again I started to lose motivation and I wouldn't enjoy my time like I did before even though life made more sense I would still rather it before. Anyway how do I go on about this? I know that Islam is the true religion and there is a God which will judge me on what I have done but I don't seem to care anymore, it's weird. Has anyone experienced something similar to this? Sorry I forgot to mention, I'm 16.
