I'm so much feeling lonely that is shaking my heart and mind to pieces and my stomach into a balloon of food. Although I have friends and relatives, I miss my parents, my favourite aunt, who already gone. I have fixed myself from problems and falls too many times before, now I get weak. I know only ALLAH SWT can help me. But I need encouragement, positive and wise, religious advise. Tell me the doa for me to be strong and independent again.
Salam dear sis,
You know hun, it might just be my point of view, I don't know, but I feel that loneliness isn't something that can be fixed by human company, but rather the continous rememberance of Allah subhanwa ta'ala.
When we are closer to Allah, He is closer to us. And when we are not close to Him, then we will still feel lonely even in a crowd. It's the constant awareness of Allah's presence that makes us feel we are not alone. See, when Allah is at the forefront of our minds, our soul becomes so content that even in solitude it finds peace and contentment. How can anyone be lonely when they have Allah with them? : )
Read the Holy Qur'an. Read it's meanings. Study matters of Islamic Jurisprudence (very interesting) and occupy your mind. Wordly stuff cannot satiate the hunger that our soul has to worship it's Creator. If worldly things could fill that void, then people who have everything would never feel lonely.
As for duaa sis, it goes hand in hand with the effort to change/do something.
“Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their own souls)” Quran: 13:11
If you want to be strong and independant, duaa isn't enough. You have to work towards being what you want and ask Allah to make it easy for you. The thing that stops most people from doing what they want is nothing but themselves.
You have to do your best, i.e. make the effort and put your trust in Allah that He will grant you success in what you are striving to do.
"Trust in Allah, but tie your camel first."
All the best sis,
