I would like to recommend a book called "Hijab Butch Blues." It's a biography. And it gave me a new perspective. The book is about Lamya's life and how she connects to her identity. I highly recommend giving it a read.

[Book Review] The Prayer: Its Effect in Increasing Eeman and Purifying The Soul by Shaykh Husayn Al-Awaayishah
🧮 Score: 4.7/5.0
.
“Successful indeed are the believers. Those who offer their Prayers with humility and attentiveness.” - (Surah al-Mu’minoon 23:1-2)
■ Life fascinates us with its unknown twists and turns. Which may cause us to lose focus and aching with disillusionment and suffering. Let's liberate our hearts from worries, refine our Prayer(Salah) and elevate our faith(Eeman).
The author illustrates the importance and benefits of Salah with ample references from the Quran and Sunnah. He encourages us to reflect and compare our Salah with that of the Prophet (SAW) and his Companions (RA). Not only discusses the practices on an individual level, but he also highlights the functions of the society and family institutions in boosting our eeman as a Muslim and collectively as the Ummah.
■ In only about 112 pages, he conveyed the knowledge(Deen) without undermining common confusions/misunderstandings on cultural appropriations. It’s amazing how clear his words are. His writings are stern yet uplifting. He empathises, clarifies and reminds things with care and sincerity. I also appreciate the provided footnotes and glossary that validate the sources.
■ How should we turn, and widen our perspectives and attitudes towards the ideas/obligations? We must do self-reflections and embrace entirely these three gems; intentions, humility and attentiveness. Then only we taste the sweetness in following the Sunnah, i. e. the correct ways to worship.
● Frequently, we find ourselves engulfed in the aftermath of our mistakes, be they wrong choices or unwise words spoken. To move forward and renew our eeman is to let go of our past. Acknowledge our shortcomings/wrongdoings, learn from them and move on.
● We need to cleanse our hearts. Begin with a genuine and earnest repentance, beseeching Allah (SWT) for forgiveness and His mercy. Make a firm commitment for a fresh start.
● The Quran strengthens our souls, infusing them with elevated faith. Dedicate extra effort to recite, explore the tafseer or learn the Arabic language to fully appreciate the Quran's eloquence, beauty, and miraculous nature.
● The Elixir of Life: Salah. Instead of going on auto-pilot mode, fully engage with Him during the five prescribed moments each day. Express genuine gratitude and directly present your concerns to Him.
■ To conclude, in a world where Salah often becomes a mere habit, the author reiterates the spiritual depths and discusses the condition of the heart one should cultivate when approaching this act of worship, offering insights on how to foster this mindset and exploring the impacts Salah should have on one's life.
Eeman, like a delicate flower, can bloom or wither in response to life's various challenges. Repent, ascend, and usher shifts into your life to earn the pleasure of your Creator. Be the Ummah that is capable of instigating positive societal transformations, rather than one that perpetually whines about every tiny problem.
