I recite Quran, Fast and wear Hijab but I don’t pray Salaah

Ok, so I fast, I read Quran and I wear a scarf but I have one thing. I dont pray. Some part of me wants to but I dont know. I try so hard to convince myself to pray, but if I pray for a day, the rest of the week or two days I don’t.

My son has a girlfriend and doesn’t seem to be bothered about not praying.

Dear Brother/Sister in Islam, I’m a revert to Islam now that my oldest son is 18, he seems to have turned his back on what we’ve brought him up with, as parents. He has been at an islamic nursery andan islamic primary school,his secondary education was at a catholic school, I thought that would be the lesser of the 2 evils rather than a school without any faith.

How can I increase my iman again?

SALAAM… IM 18 YEARS OLD… I LEARNT HOW TO PRAY 2 YEARS AGO AND STARTED PRAYING 5 TIMES A DAY… ONE DAY I HAD A DREAM WHERE I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH DR ZAKIR NAIK AND HE TOLD ME THAT PRAYING 5 TIMES A DAY IS NOT ENOUGH I NEED TO DO MORE…

My husband is a good man, but has no interest in Deen

At the time I got married to him he said he doesn’t drink and he was smoking but he gave up. After I moved to Australia he started again. He doesn’t drink all the time but occasionally at office parties and entertaining their non Muslim cousins at home.
It’s written in out marriage certificate that he is giving Sri Lankan Rupees 50000 as mahar but he never gave. How important is that?

My family does not practise Islam. How can I guide them?

My family is Muslim but non-religious. When I was 18, I met my husband and I researched Islam more and began to pray and fast. We married when I was 19. I am now 21 and I have just started to wear hijab, and my husband supports this alhamdulillah. I have two young children under the age of 2 and I wish for them to pray inshallah but how can my family be a positive influence if they do not pray or display a good example?
