Daily life

Life got in the way today

Usually I arrange life around salah but today life got in the way and time ran away from me. I felt disconnected and stressed and when I finally reached my mat and my head touched it did I understand why. I have become so connected to Allah and salah that when I miss one as I did today which is rare it really affects how grounded I am and instead of feeling present I felt disconnected and distant ….. I was lost and this made me feel sad.

Today has been the first time in a long time that this has happened and it has reaffirmed for me that my path in life is that which is with Allah, I had felt until recently lots of questions on letting certain ways go from my past or about the changes I need to make that will affect everyone and had felt hesitant but experiencing this distance this feeling of being lost without that connection has shown me how lost I truly was before I came to Islam. Islam makes me a better person through discipline and devotion.
