If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely?

If you are reading this blog, then know that it is no coincidence. Maybe this message is from Allah for you. Perhaps the question you persistently ask in your heart will find its answer today.

Just a moment, just a moment… Turn off the sounds of your world. Silence social media, your phone, and every noise. Just read this blog; maybe this is the moment that changes your whole life. If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely?

1. The scream of loneliness that is not heard

Have you ever felt that there is everything, but nothing?

There is wealth, there are friends, there are parents, there is a husband or wife, there are children, everything.

But in some corner of the heart, there is a silence, a silent scream that only emerges in the solitude of the night.

As if something is broken inside, as if the heart is searching for something that is not visible, but without which the peace of the heart is incomplete. If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely?

2. Allah is very close… so what is this emptiness?

The Quran says:

And We are nearer to Him than a man’s jugular vein.

(Surah Q, verse 16)

If Allah is so close, then why is the heart so empty, lonely, and troubled?

This question grows in the hearts of millions of people, but perhaps no one gives it a voice. If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely?

3. The secret of this loneliness: the hunger of the soul

This loneliness, this sadness, this emptiness is not actually the body’s, but the pain of the soul.

We have given the body food, clothing, and comforts but left the soul hungry, thirsty, wounded, and alone.

The soul is from Allah, and it finds peace only when it finds its true beloved, its Creator, its Lord.

“Indeed, hearts find rest only in the remembrance of Allah.” (Surah Ar-Ra’d, verse 28)

4. When Allah wants a servant to belong only to Him

Occasionally Allah makes us disappointed with everything in the world.

Every relationship, every desire, every dream seems incomplete.

This disappointment is actually a special love of the Lord.

He wants you to turn your back on everything and look only at Him.

If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely?

5. Solitude… is the Lord’s call.

When Allah loves a servant of His, He gives him solitude.

That servant himself does not know that his soul finds peace only in prostrations.

Then he gradually begins to separate himself from everyone; the splendor of the world begins to seem colorless to him.

This is the time when the Lord is calling him closer to Him.

If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely?

6. The Solitude of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

Do you know how much the solitude of the Cave of Hira was dear to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)?

The most perfect guide of mankind, God’s beloved, would also go into solitude to remember his Lord.

Doesn’t this teach us that solitude is not always negative?

Sometimes solitude is a special training from the Lord, a door to nearness.

If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely?

7. We have seen solitude from a worldly perspective.

We have understood that solitude is failure, weakness, and depression.

No!

If the heart is close to Allah and yet lonely, it means that Allah wants to take us to a certain level.

Perhaps He wants to take us out of the deceptions of this world and into His true presence.

If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely?

8. The heart that Allah Himself chose

A heart in which there is a desire for the Lord is not ordinary.

This heart isolates itself from the world, even as it exists within it.

This is the heart on which the Lord has a special gaze.

“Whom Allah loves, He alienates from the world so that he may belong only to Allah.”

9. Solitude…

Just as a gardener sometimes keeps a plant in the sun and sometimes in the shade, similarly Allah also keeps us sometimes in comfort and sometimes in solitude.

This solitude is actually the training of the heart, a stage of elevating the soul.  If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely?

10. When no one understands, Allah understands everything.

Many times we cry, not in front of people, but in front of Allah.

We shed tears after prayer, during prostration, and during the final hours of the night.

Those tears that flow only for the Lord end the loneliness of the heart.

11. The silent love of Allah

The love of Allah is often silent.

He does not show it but is with us every moment.

He knows every beat of our hearts— every sigh, every silence.

If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely?

12. The hidden presence in moments of solitude

The moment we feel most alone is when we are closest to the presence of the Lord.

The only difference is that we are unable to feel it.

The Lord says:

“Call upon Me, and I will answer you.”

“Call upon Me, and I will answer you.” (Surah Ghafir: 60)

If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely?

13. The solitude of prayer and the silence of prostration

This is the time when you are alone with Allah.

There is no distraction from the outside world or human interference.

All you can do is prostrate, eyes moistened, and utter “O Allah” on your tongue.

14. When the heart says, Lord, You are enough.

The last place is when a person breaks away from everything and says:

“Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.”

“Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.”

When this sentence comes out of the heart, loneliness does not end, but that loneliness becomes worship, and worship becomes presence.

15. Conclusion:

We become so busy in daily life that we forget ourselves.

Life becomes a continuous race from morning to evening, driven by desires, needs, and competitions.

And in the midst of all this, the heart asks:

“Is this life? Am I born only to earn, eat, and sleep?”

These questions are not of an ordinary person, but of the heart that Allah has chosen for Himself.

If you are close to Allah and yet lonely,

Then you are fortunate.

Allah has lifted you from the world and placed you in His embrace.

This loneliness is actually a sign of Allah’s closeness.

This loneliness is actually an invitation…

An invitation to return to the Lord.

If Allah is close to me why is my heart so lonely? END
