Does Allah (SWT) Care for Me?

As-salamu alaykum. I’ve been feeling really alone for a long time. I’ve learned to live by myself and to be strong, but there’s still something missing: being valued and loved. I’m only human and I need affection and to be treasured. Even if someone gets used to being alone, the lack of love can slowly drain the heart. Lately I’ve felt like Allah is distant in my life. Since people haven’t shown me love, I turn to Him and desperately need to feel His love, but I can’t sense it. It feels like He doesn’t love or care for me. I’ve been struggling with depression these past months while recovering from bipolar disorder. I wish Allah would come to me with the tenderness of a mother. I long for His deep love, for Him to embrace me, to reassure me and say, “My servant, I love you.” I love Him more than anything and try to worship Him sincerely - I pray, fast, and try to do good deeds. I want to be closer to Him. I help others and listen when they’re hurting. I’ve comforted someone who was feeling suicidal. Even if I have no one else, I want Allah to be my comfort. I don’t mind solitude if He is with me and loves me deeply. I love Allah and would give myself for His sake. There were times I felt abandoned, when I couldn’t feel His presence for weeks or days, and He taught me how to carry on. I learned from that, but now I don’t want to feel abandoned again; I want to feel His immense love. When I smile, I want to feel that He smiles upon me too. Maybe I’m asking too much, I don’t know. Please, how much does Allah love me? Will He let me feel the warmth I’m seeking? Is His love more comforting than a mother’s? I just need His help and closeness.

Honey, I’ve been there. Bipolar highs and lows make everything feel so raw. Allah’s love isn’t always a feeling; it’s a promise. Keep reaching out - to Him and to people you trust. Dua for you, truly.

As-salamu alaykum sister, you’re not asking too much. Allah’s love is real even when we can’t feel it - sometimes He hides to test patience. Keep praying and know your worth. I’ve felt that distance too, and it passed. Sending dua and a virtual hug. ❤️

Salaam sister. When I felt distant, reading Quran little by little helped - even a verse a day. It’s like a slow warmth returning. Also please seek therapy alongside faith, it doesn’t lessen your iman. You deserve that comfort.

I can’t promise the feeling will come overnight, but Allah’s mercy is infinite. Remember stories of prophets feeling distant then finding closeness again. Hold on to small rituals and allow yourself to heal slowly.

Sweetheart, your yearning is beautiful and it shows your sincerity. Sometimes the love of Allah is shown through others’ support or through inner peace that returns bit by bit. Keep making dua, keep reaching out, and don’t suffer alone - we’re with you.

I totally relate. There were months I felt empty but clung to small acts of worship and service, and slowly the warmth returned. Sometimes love shows in quiet ways. Don’t give up - you’re loved by Him more than you know.

This hits deep. I cried reading this because I felt the same last year. Someone told me: ‘He loves you at every step whether you sense it or not.’ That stuck. Keep being kind to yourself. You are cherished.
