How can one strengthen faith and overcome weakness of will, especially with the pressures of marriage, motherhood, and living abroad, and the resulting neglect of acts of worship such as prayer?
A Muslim's awareness of their shortcomings regarding their Lord is a sign of good, indicating a vigilant heart and the beginning of the right path. Sincere repentance is advised for neglecting prayers and obligatory duties, as sins harden the heart and distance it from Allah and righteous people.
Obstacles that hinder obedience and facilitate sin must be removed. One should also frequently supplicate, seeking Allah's help in obedience and worship, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Mu'adh: "O Allah, help me to remember You, to give thanks to You, and to worship You in the best manner."
For prayer, it is advisable to sleep early, use an alarm clock, and seek help from one's husband or righteous friends, as often, discouragement comes from Satan, not from actual tiredness.
