Seeking a Deeper Connection with Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I wanted to talk about something on my heart. I feel like my love and devotion for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) isn't as strong as it should be. I fully believe in his message-I've been Muslim since I was 17, alhamdulillah-and I know he is the greatest of creation, the perfect example of kindness and mercy. Yet, that deep, emotional love I know a believer should have... I struggle to feel it. Sometimes I wonder if it's because I grew up Christian. Just the thought of being in the presence of Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) fills me with warmth and joy. The idea of one day meeting him is incredibly moving. I know loving all the prophets is good, but shouldn't my heart be overflowing with love for Allah's final messenger? I've been listening to Seerah lectures, hoping they would help, but I'm still searching for that spark. Does anyone have any advice on how to open and soften my heart?
