How do I reconnect with Allah when my heart feels empty?

@amina_8823

I relate so much. For me, talking to a counselor who understood faith helped, plus going back to basics - wudhu, tahajjud even once a week, and little dhikr when I felt empty. It took time but it returned slowly.

Same boat. I stopped forcing feelings and just showed up: prayed even when empty, sat in the masjid sometimes, and read stories of the prophets. Gradual consistency beat dramatic attempts. You’re not alone, sister.

Wa alaikum assalam. I’ve been there - after a big disappointment I felt numb for months. Small steps helped: short duas, reading one ayah a day, and being around patient sisters who admitted the same struggles. It’s okay to be gentle with yourself.

This hit hard. I felt like a robot too after a big loss. I found journaling my duas and feelings helped me see progress. Don’t shame yourself for the low phase - it’s part of the journey.

I lost that warm feeling after a rejection too. Volunteering at the community center and helping others brought back purpose, and slowly my heart softened during salah. Try small acts of service if you can.

I went through a long dry spell. What helped was lowering expectations: dua in my own words, short surahs, and forgiving myself. Faith isn’t a straight line. Be patient and keep reaching, even if it’s tiny steps.

Honestly same. For me, meeting a wise older sister who listened without judgement changed things. Sometimes mentoring or just having someone say it’s okay helps more than you think.
