“I no longer feel anything during my prayers. It’s just a series of movements I perform. There’s no joy, no devotion. Nothing at all. I can’t remember what I read in those prayers, nor what the imam read. I’ve lost the warmth of faith. My heart is like December—cold, desolate, and bleak.” Sometimes… “I no longer pray regularly as I used to. I delay my prayers, sometimes even interrupting them. I know I’m doing something wrong, but my will doesn’t follow my conscience. I find myself trapped by dozens of small details that delay or even prevent me from praying.” Eventually… “I no longer see any meaning in my prayers. I’ve lost the spirit and meaning behind them. I don’t want to deceive myself anymore… I’ve given up on prayer.” We hear these words in various forms, sometimes so clear and direct, sometimes far away or distant. People close to us might say these words. Sometimes, we suffer from this situation, and no one is safe from it… We’re all vulnerable to this. This book is an attempt to find the reasons behind this suffering that many people experience. After identifying the causes, there’s a attempt to get rid of them… to save what can be saved.”
