How to Feel Connection with Allah

Bismillah. 

As a human being, how we want to feel connection with our Creator? How do we feel the present of Allah? How we want to ensure that we are really confident that Allah is always with us? 

1) Make Du'a

Make du'a to Allah s.w.t talk to Him, call on Him, ask of Him. 

"And your Lord said, 'Call on Me, I will respond to you.'" (Ghafir, 40:60)

2) Be Grateful

Think of something that you are very grateful to Allah. 

"Be grateful to Allah. And whoever is grateful for (the benefit of) himself." (Luqman 31:12)

3) Pray Consistently

Prayer isn't for Allah but it's for us. He doesn't need it but we always need Him. 

"It is You we worship and You we ask for help." (Al-Fatihah, 1:5) 

4) Learn about Allah 

Try to understand Him. Obviously, the best book for this is the Holy Quran. Read and reflect! 

"Recite in the name of your Lord who created. Created man from a clinging substances." 

(Al-Alaq, 96:1-2)

5) Strive to Get His Love

Make Allah's love your ultimate goal. Who does Allah love? 

"And do good, indeed, Allah loves the doers of good." (Al-Baqarah, 2:195)

6) Fear Him 

Fear Allah before you commit a sin. Know that he is watching you everywhere. 

"But for he who has feared the position of his Lord are two gardens." (Ar-Rahman, 55:46)

7) Trust Him 

Trusting in Allah means that you trust and believe in His Mercy, His Help, His Wisdom, His Love, and His Goodness. 

"...do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgive all wrong actions." (Az-Zumar, 39:53)

8) Remembering (Dhikr)

Remembering Allah (dhikr) has a great effect in because it has a special influence and it brings reward. 

"Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest." (Ar-Ra'd, 13:28)

Oh Allah, for Your mercy I hope, so do not abandon me to myself even for a moment. And correct all my affairs. There is no God but You. (Abu Dawood)

Dear friends, may the sharing of this may lead us and guide us to His path and Jannah. We are not perfect, but at least we can be better than before. We can change our life for better future. Insyaa Allah. :')

The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said: 

"The one who guides to something good has a reward similar to the one doing it." (Hadith Muslim)
