Rant I hate prayer.

[XXX_SKIBIDISIGMA_XXX]

I only feel disconnected and lonley when """talking""" to Allah, i get no enjoyment, no knowledge, no reassurance, NOTHING but some shitty imaginary points, Islam centers itself around imaginary points and that's IT. Prayer never made me feel safe, i only feel empty when praying, empty and guideless, passionless.
I don't even love Allah, how can i love Allah when he calls me his slave (this is mentioned in many different aspects of Islam, such as the meaning behind the word "Muslim"), never responds to me clearly and not even once has made any effort into letting me love him, omnipotent beings are the least loveable people ever.
I don't even enjoy learning about his prophets either, it'sjust a history lession that Allah happens to be involved in, the least intresting Islamic topic i read for school was prophet Muhammad's (SAWS) multiple wifes, i don't care about your wifes just teach me how to be good.
I'm under the assumption that every religon is so pathetic at trying to connect humans to their gods.

The point i am making is that i wash myself and dress up to recite the same lines of Arabic text i, in the same boring positions for years, it's repetitive, unengaging and vauge, i have learned next-to-nothing after years of praying.

There's only one solution:
Expand my involvement in Islam.
I need to read the Quran (i'm EFL so i'll read an English translation despite it not being definitive), i need to reasearch more prophets and even other influental figures in Islam, Muhammad (SAWS) will be the one i need to focus on the most since his lifestyle and teachings (Sunnah) are very important to learn.
Simply, Prayer isn't going to make me love Islam, but it will dicipline me and keep me in line.

assalamulaikum brother, i also had the same feeling as well when I was your age, prayer doesnt simply make you a better person per se, always follow the sunnah and the hadith as well, spend time with your family, and God is always with you, he's giving you a challenge that you will overcome, never lose your faith in God.

I recommend really looking at what your faith gives you, if it only brings you strife then maybe it's not the way

@XXX_SKIBIDISIGMA_XXX I've read all your posts and it sounds like you're suffering from legalism/ritualism, Catholics do the same. I'd recommend reading what Jesus said to the Pharisees, they were trapping people in a daily ritual so they could control them. Maybe just randomly start reading parts of the quaran that your iman didn't tell you to. (IDK what the mosque power structure is)

If you really are questioning your faith, I'd suggest you get a bible and see what Jesus has to say, he makes a lot of sense to me.
Notice I never tried converting you before? If someone is steadfast and confident in their faith, I respect their decision and let it go. However, if you don't have inner peace, I strongly recommend believing in Christ.

I would have tried to convert mr. skibidisigma to what I believe in if it was actually structured and not just schizo ramblings I think up at 4:00 AM geg

but do you really understand what's being told to you? reciting and taking classes doesn't seem like it would be all the fulfilling

Most Abrahamic religions worship Yahweh (pagan semetic entity), this they are jewish in nature.

Stop praying to jews in heaven and jews nailed to wooden crosses.
