assalamualaikum sister
in my opinion, you problem is largely due to you turning into an adolescent. in another word, it hormones that is going crazy inside of you. i know this well because i'd been through it. unfortunately, i didn't really get any help so i rebelled a lot during those time. you did, and insha-allah, a lot of sisters and brothers here can insha-allah try to help you. in this period, don't try to force yourself into doing anything that you do not compromise on doing.learn to do it slowly.afterall, we are all human who has our own flaw. try telling your mother about this, and seek for her forgiveness before hand if in case you are going to say anything that might hurt her feelings near future(god forbids) insha-allah your mother will understand, especially if she had dealt with teenagers before this. one thing you have to understand is, once you reached puberty, you are responsible for all of your deed and action in Allah's eyes. so, this is really going to be a tough period for you. pray a lot to allah so that He will help and seek for His forgiveness. have a lot of patient as you will always feel like everyone in this world is against you especially your parent [ lol, that's true sis,looking back, i'm ashamed of it =) ] the key here is always try to look at things in the positive light, so do your best at that. nobody said teenagerhood is an easy time, so good luck yah! one day, you'll look back into those years and see it as something that had make you the person you are.
All the best, Salaam

the same thing as happend to me, when i was young i would ♥ making wudu. then i would go through i phase about a year later were i make wudu 50 times a day (paranoia) and it make me not like making wudu. but i found that balance and i like making wudu, it washes away your sins. not i have problems with praying on time. maybe because in the teen years, you get more busy with friends and school. i try to not let that distract me, even though i fail sometimes. yuo should take advantage of the family support you are getting, and dont take it for granted. its going o help you a lot! :)
maybe you shouldnt hit her, lol, before you talk to her, take a deep breath and release all the anger and fustration you have out on the world, lol sis we all have it!!
i got to go pray!!
Salaam
♥

I even have the suitable sister. She is astonishing. We under no circumstances had any issues. i haven't any brothers yet i'm particular that i could get alongside with them too. I merely sent my sister an staggering mom's Day present.

I think the struggle is more about being independent from your mom then praying. Try finding a balance. Pray and talk to your mom. Express your feelings. Find the true cause to what is going on.

You might be mixing with the wrong company that's why the light of your faith might be diminishing. Do a lot of zikir be it salawat etc to brighten the light and control the lazy ego.
Be sure to listen to talks of sufi scholars as being their presence will hopefully increase your himmah (determination) insyAllah allahu a'lam.

Sister, praying is one of the pillars of faith. If one doesn't follow the pillars then their faith will crumble. Just like a building needs pillars to support it, without the pillars it will fall. The first thing we will be questioned about on Judgment Day will be about Salat.
It doesn't take very long at all to perform each prayer and the best thing about it is you have a warm glowing feeling inside you knowing that you have pleased Allah by remembering and worhipping him. InshaAllah listen to your mum when she calls you to pray, she is looking out for your best interest.

Sis I know how you feel about your iman. Mine is low and has been for sometime now. We all go though this. Just keep going sis, do what is obligatory first then try to do extra. And keep asking Allah to help you. And please don't feel that way towards your mom, she is only doing what is best for you.

You deserve Paradise , don't sell yourself for anything less. Whoever is content to the worldly pleasures , has sufficed to something base and low.

We all go through highs and lows of Iman. Please don't force yourself to pray or do anything else. Start with small things and it will come to you.
