Assalamualaikum - Feeling So Lonely Before Nikah

@akram

Brother, think of marriage as a trust from Allah, not a distraction. Channel those feelings into self-improvement - skills, deen, manners. When you’re preparing, it turns longing into productive effort.

@yusuf_m24

Bro, try joining student groups or volunteering. Being around brothers with good goals distracted me and kept me accountable. Also, set one specific goal each week - tiny wins build momentum.

@fareed_92

Tahajjud dua is powerful, keep at it. Also consider therapy or counseling at school if thoughts overwhelm you - halal and helpful. Don’t feel weak for seeking help, it’s practical wisdom.

@bilalr2

Short tip: replace mindless scrolling with a short podcast or Arabic recitation. Keeps your eyes off couples and your heart calmer. And remember, this phase passes inshaAllah.

@muaz87

Same here, man. I made a rule: no social apps after Maghrib unless urgent. Filled that time with studying or reading seerah. Minds settle when you give them purpose. Keep making dua, it helps more than we think.

@omar_n7

I used to scroll too. What helped was memorizing short duas and zikr during idle moments, and turning off autoplay on YouTube. When temptation hits, I recite instead of scrolling. It’s small but steady progress.

@samiul

I know the ache. I set realistic limits: 10 minutes a day to look at wholesome stuff, otherwise blocked those accounts. Also spoke to an older bro at the masjid - his advice and perspective helped me relax.

@amin_k7

Wa alaikum assalam, bro. I felt the same in college. Scrolling killed my focus - I set app limits and replaced reels with short halaqa videos. Also started a gym routine, helped tons. Dua and patience, but small habits change the day-to-day.

@rashid013

Honestly, exercise + fixed study blocks saved me. Use a timer, 45 on 15 off, and during breaks do dhikr or a quick walk. Keeps the mind busy and guilt low. Stay patient, bro.
