I want to be a good Muslim!
Assalam - o - Alaikum.
I will be very honest here regarding telling all the issues I have. So, I'm basically a teenager. I used to pray five times a day but now I don't anymore. I want to be a good Muslim. Please, tell me any Dua by which I can pray five times a day and Recite the Holy Quran with a pure Niyat.
How to defeat shaitan?
I get thoughts which cannot be told or said and I, too, don't want to tell these thoughts to anyone. Astaghfirullah, they are not pure at all. I want to get rid off them completely. Any Dua to get rid of these impure thoughts?
Again how to defeat shaitan? Any Dua?
I also disobey my Parents which I really don't want to at all. We were financially upset. More often, my younger Sister fights with me which provokes me. I feel my Mother supports her more which I think she does not.
I am a student as well. I want to do good in my exams. Any Dua to concentrate on my studies and to achieve brilliant grades (first position holder) in exams (and tests)? Also Dua to be a brilliant student (first position holder) throughout the year in the class? I will be In Shaa Allaah giving CIE's exams. Therefore, I want to do great in these exams because these exams give foreign scholarships with a large amount of money. I want to make a world record. Kindly, tell me any Dua for this.
Jazak Allaah Khair.

Hi, U r very young, so there might be some kind of thoughts and dreams which is normal for u , when ur hormone will become balanced u will become very cool and stable , but it will take some time, after some years u will find that u r not so crazy like u r now. Our beloved Prophet SAW became matured at His 40, so Almighty Allah gave Him nabuat/ risaalat or prphethood at that age, before that Prophet SAW was having a very decend life.
Having a decnd life is not impossible, and getting rid of bad thoughts is also possible, if u believe Allah then accept Him also. We usually believe Him but about His commands we show our back and try to escape, that means we believe Him but do not obey Him. So try to balance between your belief and loyalty. It is very hard to get rid of Shaytan, but if u recite ' Auzubillah Himinashshyatanir rajeem" many time , continuously, then Allah might help u too.
Remember it's Allah's wish whom He will purify and whom He will not, but one who has no arrogance and ignorance may get get help from Allah. Just talk to Allah about your prob with humbleness, and try hard to purify ur self . May Allah help u.
Wa 'alaikum as-salaam warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh Muslimah25
You say you want to be a good Muslim, but you seem like one already mashaAllah. For it's only good Muslims who care about their deen and wish to become better. In addition to what is said above by sister Rabiya, following the list below could also help inshaAllah.
1. Read the Holy Quran and Hadiths (and continuously learn to understand them more and more, as well as to ponder on their meanings). This will lead you to be more firm in your iman in Allah subhanahu wat'ala with knowledge of Him inshaAllah.
2. Perform the prescribed 5 daily Salats, and perform them on time.This will increase your iman and taqwa and help you to abstain from sinful acts.
3. Engage yourself with lots of Dhikr (e.g. learning and pondering on the Beautiful Names and Attributes of Allah subhanahu wat'ala, and worshiping Him and making du'as by them). This creates special strengths and light in your heart to help you more in abstaining from sinful acts and engaging in good deeds. You may learn and ponder on the following Beautiful Names of Allah to attain much consciousness of Allah (Taqwa). 1. Ar-Raqib (The Watchful). 2. Al-Hafiz (The Preserver). 3. Al-'Alim (The All Knowing, The Omniscient). 4. As-Sami' (The All Hearing). 5. Al-Basir (The All Seeing).
Allah subhanahu wat'ala says:
4. Try practicing to be humble in all your Salats (and in all your dhikr and du'as), and assume closeness of Allah subhanahu wat'ala in them--this will eventually lead you to real closeness of Allah inshaAllah.
5. Try as much as you can to avoid nonsense or wasting your time in acts or places that do not get you closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
6. Try as much as you can to devout your free times for charity work (such as being nice to your parents and your little sister and putting a smile on your face for them--and then whenever they hurt you or do something wrong, you try to explain to them politely and firmly till Allah subhanahu wat'ala opens their hearts to realize their errors inshaAllah).
7. Try as much as you can to safeguard your chastity. Lower you gaze and avoid looking at unlawful things you see while outside, and as well as what you see on TV, magazines, and the internet.
8. Practice being faithful to your trusts and pledges.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Holy Quran:
9. Avoid bad friends and associate with only sincere and good friends who practice the deen. In addition to that, it would be helpful to watch and listen to Islamic lectures and lessons about taqwa (ask your parents to buy you some DVDs/CDs, or simply check on you-tube), such as lectures by Sheikh Yusuf Badat and Mufti Menk or watch
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Holy Quran:
10. Ask Allah for forgiveness (at least 100 or 70 times) everyday.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
11. Keep up with morning and evening adhkar and dua's. Please follow this link http://www.zawaj.com/askbilqis/dua-in-islam/morning-and-evening-dhikr-part-2/
12. Suggested du'as:
You may say this du'a after every salah inshaAllah. This is according to Sunnah.

May Allah subhanahu wa wata'la help you and us all. Ameen.
