There Is Nothing Wrong With Feeling Lonely...


In the name of Allah, the Ever Merciful, the Especially Merciful

There is nothing wrong with you that you feel lonely. There is something wrong with those who feel content with the company of that which is transitory, and are happy amongst those who lead them to destruction. My dear one, whether rich or poor, happy or sad, in company or in solitude, every person is heading towards the same destination… towards a house that one must enter without company, without friends, and without family. Yes, this is the truth that many deny while acknowledging its veracity. The moment the newborn opens it’s eyes in the arms of its mother, this destiny is written for him.

My dear, have you every seen a house built on a bridge? Know, may Allah bless you, that your life in this world is a bridge. We begin crossing this bridge when we come out from our mothers’ bodies…and we leave it whenever the Merciful One calls us into His presence. “…And no soul knows in which land it will die” (31:34)

Saint or sinner, rich or poor, loved or despised, every human being shall leave this temporary world for the abode of permanence. For this world is not our home. Those who sought to reside in it, loved it, worked for it, and spent the passing hours of their days and nights striving to acquire it… shall find it difficult to part with it. And those who understood it for what it is, turned away from it, and felt imprisoned within it’s walls… they yearn for the call of their Beloved. The day of parting from it shall be the day of their freedom.

May Allah keep you amongst them always.

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah.
