Just to clarify: she’s stopped praying taraweeh prayers - which are sunnah.. not fardh prayers..

By loss of spirituality I don;t mean a loss of iman! Doesn’t everyone have ups and downs when it comes to spirituality? I don’t mean you stop practicing altogether, or you leave your fardh prayers or anything drastic. I’m talking about a loss of the level of closeness that you felt with God previously.. Which you then push yourself to get to again. I’m suprised if you don’t relate to what I’m talking about, everyone I’ve ever talked to mentions these sorts of ups and downs

It’s not half as dramatic as it seems to be perceived here.. Jolie, it’s not a sudden and dramatic change and NomiCA It’s not a horrific experience. She really enjoyed her time there - we were just discussing how the time there seems to have changed her a little

Perhaps it was indeed weakness of her part.. But I’m not inclined to think it would be due to that totally. I think the experience and the environment she was in affected her heart - hardened it in a way. So she just doesn’t feel like pushing herself that extra bit further like she used to We’re not talking about fardh here! She still prays five times a day!

I see. Thanks for the clarification. I for some reason thought you were talking about namaaz because you mentioned worship etc. Khair if this decline in spirituality isn’t interfering with her faraiz as a muslim, there’s nothing to worry about. She just needs time I guess so let her be because spirituality isn’t something that we can build for her, it comes from within.

And yes you’re right, we all go through ups and downs, sometimes when we see the injustice all around us, sometimes when we lose a loved one. We’re only weak humans, may Allah swt strengthen our imaan, Ameen.
