Assalaamu alaikum Anatolian,


(smile) It can be hard, sometimes, to feel Allah in our hyper busy, noisy, modern world. But if you can get away from the concrete jungle, perhaps you may feel Him more easily? (smile) I know that when I am walking in the woods, the quiet sounds, the smells, the sights cool against my eyes... all these hum the presence of the Creator. (smile) And then when one is attuned, it becomes easier to feel Him around us. In the joy and wonder of small children, in the plants and creatures around us, in the kindnesses of other people, in the changing of the sky... (smile) and in His Words in the Qur'an.


May God, the Shaper and Designer, Help us to increase our awareness of Him.

Welcome to the forum :D (your account is not yet activated, check your email to activate your account, otherwise ask us for help in the helpdesk inshallah).

To feel the presence of the prophet pbuh?? That would be considered shirk. The prophet pbuh is dead so we cannot feel his presence. We are only ordered to send our blessings upon him and his family, follow his lifestyle, and emulate him in the best way we can. Therefore our "meditation" is centered on Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and remembering Him. In the Quran it states: Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah, Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest (13:28).

Inshallah the following link may be helpful to explain more in regards to meditation in Islam: http://islamqa.org/hanafi/askimam/80399

And to highlight:

Meditation that is linked to any religious or cultural group general contains acts, positions or chants that reflect that particular religion or culture. Such practices mostly contravene the laws of Shari’āh. Hence, any such type of meditation that reflects any aspect contrary to Sharī’ah or has links to another religion, such as yoga, will be impermissible in Sharī’ah. It is necessary to stick to the Islamic method of meditation. Another remedy that may help the sister is recitation of the Qur’ān. Allāh mentions in the Qur’ān:

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

“We are revealing the Qur’ān which is a cure and mercy for the believers.”

We advise that the sister establish a spiritual connection with a Shaykh (spiritual mentor) and follow his guidance. We make du’ā Allāh grant her solace and peace and alleviate her anxiety.
