These days my heart has "hardened" so bad that even quran just sounds like words to me and praying just feels like movements. i dont know what caused this, but i need some advice.

It's almost impossible to say anything on this as to 'arrive' at a point like where you are with the 'hardheartedness' there is a journey which you went through.

I can only guess that it has to do with frustrations and confusions. For me in the past and still go through phases like that, I always find inspiration by re reading the books in the prophets. Their struggles and strife repeating the messages again and again consistently.

Somehow it works for me.

On praying, I force myself to do it. If I can't then I'll have to make up for it by the days end when I'm at home. After a while, you feel like it is a waste if you don't. I realise now that whatever I felt like yesterday, the moment is gone, and whatever the opportunity is also gone. I could have done it but chosen not to. My loss. Could I have done it? Of course yes!

Don't give up.

Yes definitely I recall Shaykh Hasan Ali mentioned it in a lecture.

Also not only read Qur'an but also reflect on it and ponder upon the meanings.

(Quran 4:82 Surah An Nisa) "Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction."

Oh! Definitely! Be sure to force yourself to stop after a small portion. I used to only read two pages per sitting and not a single word more. This pushed me to focus hard on each word. The Qur'an will make your heart melt.
