you need to rebuild the habit and read quran and do dhikr of Allah, Jannah and Naar by thinking about Allah's power, your weakness and death.

also over all the favors that Allah has given you and the purpose for your creation.

reflect over ayat like "And He gives you of all that you ask Him; and if you count Allah's favors, you will not be able to number them; most surely man is very unjust, very ungrateful," and "Those who remember Allah standing and sitting and lying on their sides and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: Our Lord! Thou hast not created this in vain! Glory be to Thee; save us then from the chastisement of the fire"

you actually have to take out time to contemplate over these things and remember instances in your life that directly relate to them.

you need to read quran and do this dhikr and fikr and make dua to Allah.

once you gain this motivation, start building your habit.

keep your habit constant by continuing this dhikr and fikr everyday.

sending blessings on the prophet will also help :insh:

other will provide better help :insh:

may Allah help you.

you should care pray time. when you hear the azan immediately being pray. that is right way.

Assalamulaikum Brother

The first thing to remember is you are not alone.

This is something that has happened to all of us where our iman fluctuates. But, remember it is all a test. The test conditions have changed somewhat but it is still the same exam! Shaytaan loves to make us feel alone just as it is easy for the wolf to attack the lonely sheep. If you can, try and be around pious brothers: mosque, talks. If this is not possible listen to islamic audios or videos. Plus, check out the inspiring section at this forum. There are many stories and tidbits posted by brothers and sisters to motivate all of us.

Walaikum salaam
