“i feel far from Allah ﷻ”
when we get tied up in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we often begin to feel disconnected from our spiritual selves. although salah is meant to keep us on track, we lack in perfecting our salah and our relationship with Allah ﷻ takes a hit.
that’s exactly what ramadan is for. it’s a time to wipe the slate clean. to reconnect with our Creator ﷻ. just because you don’t feel close to Allah ﷻ at the moment doesn’t mean you should feel discouraged about working on your relationship with your Lord. rather, find motivation in the fact that Allah ﷻ is more pleased with the repentance of a sinner than a man who’s camel returns to him after having been lost in an abandoned desert.
when a pious person calls out to Allah ﷻ, He responds, “I am present,” but when a sinner calls out to Allah ﷻ, He responds, “I am here, I am here, I am here.” Truly, Allah ﷻ is with you, even closer than the jugular veins that work to keep you alive.
place your hand over your heart. do you feel that? that’s proof of Allah ﷻ’s immense love for you. He’s given you an opportunity to repent. make use of it.
نسال الله التوفيق
The Blessed Month is at our doorstep! May this time be one of drawing close to Allah despite how far we might’ve been. May our efforts match our Love for our Creator. May He ﷻ accept us into His infinite love and mercy.
Ameen
