Growing up I obviously attended Islamic school to learn the Qur'an and the teachings of Islam as it a requirement for every Muslim. Was a brilliant kid and everything seemed to go well as I was learning and memorizing a lot of stuff just like the other kids. When I started high school, I stopped attending for whatever reason. I guessed I was more focused on academics, which led me to forget a lot of things really quickly. Now I can barely resite a few suras and don't even know them by name. Can't remember a single hadith and don't even know the right things to say during and after salat. Hate to admit this but I miss prayers on a regular basis and don't bother to make up for them. My parents are good Muslims though and did all they could to raise us to be good Muslims too but in our part of the world it's all about getting good grades at school and getting a good job. So they never really paid attention to my Islamic welfare(can't you blame them?) Maybe they figured I had learnt all I needed to know. Sometimes I was can't help but think I'm going to end up in he'll no matter what. Now I work, play sports and plan on furthering my education at some point but the fact that I am so incomplete spiritually will always weigh me down. Trust me there are times I've thought about quitting altogether but my parents would be very disappointed. Have to add still observed the fasting regardless cos I figured even though I am limited, Allah still sees my genuine comittment to be a Muslim. Please help me.
