islamreflection:

“All night a man called “Allah” until his lips were bleeding. Then the devil sad, “How come you’ve been calling Allah all night, and never heard Allah say “Here, I am!”? The man suddenly felt abandoned. Depressed he fell asleep. In a dream, he met Abraham who asked him, “Why are you regretting praying to Allah?” The man said, “I called and called, but Allah never replied.” Abraham then explained, Allah has said: “your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you. All my attempts to reach you are reflected in your attempts to reach me.” In the silence surrounding every call of “Allah”, waits a thousand replies of “Here I am.””

More alone. Sounds weird doesn’t it? How can anyone be more alone? You’re either alone, or you have company. So how does more alone work? Here’s how-
More alone isn’t being, but feeling.

It’s when you think you’ve hit the bottom, when the cocoon is so close that it’s suffocating. You feel like you’ve lost control of your life and there’s a river that separates you from the world. You know that there is a bridge, but you aren’t ready to take it, yet.

Alone is when you meet the first disappointment,
More alone is when you have other disappointments to compare to.

(via syahirahshaari)
