TALK TO ALLAH, FINDING COMFORT BY MAKING DUA TO HIM

Why We No Longer Talk To Allah

Many years back before I fully embrace and practice the religion, I had no idea what the true meaning of relying on and obeying Allah SWT was. The concept of Islam that I had in mind was just to follow the rules.

Either you do or not do what a Muslim is supposed to do.

 I learned about Tawheed when I was in primary school but in the end, it was just another subject in school. I memorized the content of the subject to pass yearly exams together with other subjects.

I knew Allah exists, but I did not feel His presence. It was probably because I was still young to understand the meaning of all these. But life became challenging and rough as you grow older and I was still figuring things out, thus Islam became a religion I followed blindly.

Performing Solah (prayer), reciting the Quran, fasting, and making du’a were things I performed and did occasionally only when others were doing it or whenever I was told to do so.

It was difficult, tedious, and sparked no joy. Hence, there were times when no one was seeing, I disregarded those actions, and lived as I wish. Have you ever gone through something like this? Have you ever felt like it was so hard to practice the ibadah like what others are doing?

I am ashamed to tell you this, but I am sharing with you my story as a reminder, first and foremost to myself, and I hope as you go through this book, you would find some ibrah (learning points) from my sharing and thus help us all to become a better version of ourselves.
