I am lucky to be born to a muslim family however, recently I have started to lose faith and that's why I came here before its too late.
Lately I had a realization that my parents are really, really bad at teaching me religion. In the Qu'ran, it is advised to make us love religion and Allah but my parents always make everything related to religion forced. When I miss a prayer, I am at fault however instead of trying to make me love Allah and prayers, they keep telling me how I must do them and how thats why we come to this world. I admit that they are correct, however they are pushing me away from religion, instead of making me love Islam and prayers they tell me how I will feel "relieved" if I pray and how nothing will go right if I don't.
I can understand that they are concerned for me but they make up stuff to try to get me to pray instead of trying to make me love Allah and Islam. They say things like I won't be successfull or that the only flaw I have as a human is that I don't always pray, however In the Qu'ran it says that success is given to those who work hard and prayers are only helpful if you work hard. In the Qu'ran it says that humans are flawed, none of us are perfect and I see my flaws too, yes me not praying on time is one of my flaws but I have so many more flaws too. When I try to bring this into conversation, they always judge me and shout how I shouldn't talk back to them even when I do so nicely. I am fed up with them being so judgemental always and pretending to know things they don't.
At this point, they are repelling me from praying, I am so fed up with them not taking any critisizm and being ready to give mountains of critisizm when it comes to me.
I know Islam is a great religion that is neglected by people not following it correctly, I came here to ask for advice if you have any. I want to love this religion not be repelled by it due to my parents not teaching it properly.
If you are going to say that its farz to pray at my age and my parents are right please consider below: Yes its farz to pray 5 times a day but I am trying to actually achieve that and being shouted at or getting a 10 minute lecture every missed prayer isn't going to help me make this into a consistent habit. The only way is to love Islam, prayers and Allah. You can't force it.
