Loneliness.

00:00:01--> 00:00:03

I'm feeling it all the time.

00:00:04--> 00:00:04

Why?

00:00:11--> 00:00:13

There was a time when the prophet alaihis

00:00:13--> 00:00:16

salatu wasalam was walking in Mecca and he

00:00:16--> 00:00:19

passed by a mountain called the mountain of

00:00:19--> 00:00:20

Jamdan.

00:00:21--> 00:00:23

And when he passed by the mountain he

00:00:23--> 00:00:25

looked at his companions and he said a

00:00:25--> 00:00:25

phrase

00:00:28--> 00:00:31

that the people who are alone or isolated

00:00:31--> 00:00:33

have preceded us.

00:00:34--> 00:00:36

So when the Sahabas heard this statement, they

00:00:36--> 00:00:37

asked him, You Rasoolullah,

00:00:38--> 00:00:39

who are these mufaridun?

00:00:39--> 00:00:42

Who are these people that are alone? And

00:00:42--> 00:00:45

the prophet alaihis salatu wasalam said a very

00:00:45--> 00:00:46

beautiful statement.

00:00:47--> 00:00:47

They are

00:00:51--> 00:00:54

They are the people both from the males

00:00:54--> 00:00:56

and females that remember Allah

00:00:56--> 00:00:57

constantly.

00:00:58--> 00:00:59

So

00:00:59--> 00:01:00

being alone

00:01:01--> 00:01:03

doesn't sound like such a bad thing.

00:01:04--> 00:01:06

It's one thing if you feel alone no

00:01:06--> 00:01:08

matter what you do. So even if you

00:01:08--> 00:01:09

are

00:01:09--> 00:01:12

occupied with the remembrance of Allah, you're spending

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

a lot of time just reflecting,

00:01:14--> 00:01:17

praying, reciting and learning your deen, getting closer

00:01:17--> 00:01:20

to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. That's one thing.

00:01:21--> 00:01:22

But then for many of us it could

00:01:22--> 00:01:24

also be that no matter what we do,

00:01:24--> 00:01:27

no matter what we're engaged in, we still

00:01:27--> 00:01:29

feel alone. So there are 2 things to

00:01:29--> 00:01:30

keep in mind.

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

If you are of the latter group where

00:01:32--> 00:01:34

no matter what you do you still feel

00:01:34--> 00:01:35

that loneliness,

00:01:36--> 00:01:39

this is important and you need to get

00:01:39--> 00:01:41

help. It might be that you just need

00:01:41--> 00:01:43

to talk to somebody, you need to be

00:01:43--> 00:01:45

amongst people where you can unload some of

00:01:45--> 00:01:46

those emotions,

00:01:46--> 00:01:49

some of those feelings, whatever struggles and pain

00:01:49--> 00:01:52

you might be going through that's causing you

00:01:52--> 00:01:54

to feel this way. So that requires a

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

bit of care and nurturing.

00:01:57--> 00:01:58

But then the other category,

00:01:58--> 00:02:00

there are those who intentionally

00:02:01--> 00:02:04

want that isolation, they want that alone time,

00:02:04--> 00:02:06

And this is something that if you read

00:02:06--> 00:02:08

literally the biography of any of our scholars,

00:02:09--> 00:02:11

you'll notice that they always have this time

00:02:11--> 00:02:14

between them and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:02:15--> 00:02:17

Alone time can be very beneficial and it

00:02:17--> 00:02:18

could actually be

00:02:19--> 00:02:21

the greatest moments of your life

00:02:21--> 00:02:23

as long as you utilize it to get

00:02:23--> 00:02:25

closer to your Creator.

00:02:25--> 00:02:28

So think about it and think about what

00:02:28--> 00:02:29

it is that you want to achieve when

00:02:29--> 00:02:31

you do feel alone and how you can

00:02:31--> 00:02:34

take advantage of that to make it work

00:02:34--> 00:02:37

for you, to actually uplift you spiritually, to

00:02:37--> 00:02:40

make you stronger and closer to Allah Subhanahu

00:02:40--> 00:02:41

Wa Ta'ala.

00:02:41--> 00:02:42

In this month of Ramadan

00:02:43--> 00:02:45

I'm sure that there's a lot of us

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

out there that have that alone time.

00:02:47--> 00:02:50

A lot of us spend time speaking to

00:02:50--> 00:02:50

Allah,

00:02:51--> 00:02:52

making our dua,

00:02:53--> 00:02:54

talking to Him and unloading

00:02:54--> 00:02:56

all of the emotions,

00:02:56--> 00:02:59

all of our needs and desires only to

00:02:59--> 00:03:00

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:03:01--> 00:03:04

And it's the greatest feeling ever. So take

00:03:04--> 00:03:06

advantage of it and try to use it

00:03:06--> 00:03:08

in a positive way as best as possible

00:03:09--> 00:03:09

and Insha'Allah

00:03:11--> 00:03:14

you and me Insha'Allah.

00:03:11--> 00:03:14

you and me Insha'Allah.
