I fear Allah more than I love Him

Breaking

I'm terrified of doing mistakes in my salat because I feel like I'm not deserving of mercy, I know it's bad to think like this but it's so hard to not do it. Earlier I was breaking my fast and asking my parents about some mistakes I made while praying and my sister said that it looked like I was praying just out of fear and not out of love for Allah, I don't know how to fix it. For years, I've rejected Islam and I've lied about praying and fasting. I started praying again around 8 months ago and I'm still learning the basics of Islam, I never realized how many mistakes I used to make during my prayer until recently and I'm terrified of the thought of being seen as an hypocrite or someone not worth being loved by Allah. It's exhausting, I'm constantly scared of doing things wrong and this is making me delay worship. Even these last days of Ramadan are hard for me, at night I manage to pray Isha and a few rakats after then I try to make sincere duas and some dhikr but the next morning I just feel empty. I'm not sure if this is a test from Allah or if it's just me being pathetic and not worth being guided. I wanna start loving Allah more, same with the prophet Muhammad, I try to read more about him and try to follow the sunnah but I feel nothing when I do those things. I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm scared that I'm not worth being guided by Allah.

i have question that’s been on my mind for a while, i get that allah gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers but i always see people asking “why isnt allah helping the millions of children dying and being tortured and suffering every single day and a part of me is always like yeah why? This is all started because my mother and my grandma are genuinely the most religious people i know, they never ever seem to catch a break it’s always bad things happening after each other and it feels unfair. i know i shoudnt doubt allahs timing or allahs decisions but i feel so defeated i can’t help but hurt for them and it feels like if they do all this and really bad things happen to them do i even stand a chance? i’m trying my best and i always look up to my mother for being on her deen so much but now i can’t help but wonder and i can’t help but doubt everything’s arround me. The children affected in wars or in crimes, why? they can’t bear that so how does allah not give a soul beyond it can bear when it feels like he does. when you see those crimes of people who went thru unspeakable torture or things that are actually insane how does one get past this and think yeah it’s okay allah is testing me. why? what did i do to deserve this while horrible politicians and killers live their best life because “they’ll get their punishment in the afterlife” yet only i suffer for now. i hope i don’t get attacked for this because i mean no harm or hate im genuinely in despair and in need of any answers to help me because it feels like my iman is very low:

I honestly feel like there’s no point in Laylatul Qadr anymore. I feel like Allah (SWT) hasn’t accepted any of my duas even the small ones I ask for. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even see the point of Laylatul Qadr, because if my duas aren’t being accepted normally, what makes me think they’ll suddenly be accepted on that night?

I’ve been holding onto hope for a long time, but now I just feel exhausted and discouraged. I’ve even stopped praying salah and everything because I feel so disconnected. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could share their Laylatul Qadr success stories

Dua for Laylatul Qadr

Aisha (RA) said:

“I said: O Messenger of Allah, if I know which night is Laylatul Qadr, what should I say in it?”
He said: Say: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuḥibbul ‘afwa fa‘fu ‘anni.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ العَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuḥibbul ‘afwa fa‘fu ‘anni
O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me.

Assalamualeikum wa Rahmatullahiwa Barakatu.

I don't really know who to go to in order to properly discuss this because it's such a ghost topic in our community. As muslim children of muslim parents (or not sometimes) we hear it over and over how we cannot disobey or dissociate from our parents unless they push us towards haram.

I agree with the fact that speaking with respect and compassion is essential for a good character, however, I struggle to actually show any kind of compassion or respect because I get yelled at during arguments. In fact, all I can do is remain silent to keep things at "Father is screaming and smashing my whole entire room"

I have a father who unfortunately isn't interested in learning how muslim men should behave. For him, praying sometimes and paying bills is perfection. There is no control of the nafs, or gentleness, or actual educational skills you are supposed to work for as you grow with your children.

By Allah I've come to a point where I dread coming back home after college. I think about it all day and it keeps me up at night : the fear of getting threatened with brutality, or pulled by the hair or insulted with the same words that Mary the mother of prophet Jesus heard.

And it starts over tiny things : my brother tells my sisters to not touch something and boom : he's getting barked at, dragged everywhere, then my mother gets blamed for not raising him correctly... Wallah I usually shut my mouth too, pretend I'm somewhere else but when it's ramadan and as fasting humans, we are valued in the "eyes" of Allah, I cannot take the injustice. Imagine the pillar of the house ruining iftar for his family, making some cry, some shake in fear...Who is he for me to fear him like that?

For the iftar situation, I tried to speak reasonably with my father : telling him gently that my sisters should sometimes behave as it is better for them. I do not seek pity by sharing that, but he shouted over me so much I said "fine, I'm not speaking to you then", and I made a motion with my hand.

He screamed he wanted to punch me till I fly across the room, spat at me, and poured hot coffee over my iftar plate.

This is just an example among too many.

The excuse is alwasy the same : "don't talk to your father like that"/ "ungrateful brat"/"Allah will burn you in hell if you rebell!"

But I'm fed up... I pray often that Allah calms my fears, and guides both my father and mother who enables him. Don't become kind, just stop hitting, screaming and threatening me.

I tell Allah how I can't stand injustice, and never meant for things to escalate. But scholars talk about patience like it's the only solution. I don't want anything from either of my parents, I only want Allah swt, the most Just, most Wise.
