			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bismillahi Al Rahmani Al Rahimi,</p>
<p>Have you ever felt a great disconnect from the world; for all it brings, and has to offer. I don&#8217;t mean safety, shelter, food, and clothing. But it&#8217;s elements of so called entertainment, and various people?</p>
<p>Have you ever grown tired of the world, where you want little to do with it. Where other than to worship Allah ( swt) you see little meaning to anything else?</p>
<p>The things that once you held dear, or enjoyed spending your time with, have become the very thing in which you find boredom and useless in.</p>
<p>I ask myself, am I selfish, and discontent with this world, and never satisfied, because it is never enough?</p>
<p>I am not sure. Its not more that I want. More time, more money, a big house, or car. But something else. Something I can not describe. </p>
<p>Can I find it , hear on this earth? I feel lost, like I am on a journey in which seems to go on forever. A place I want to run from, but unsure of  the destiny that lies ahead.</p>
<p>I feel as if I am in a place of where I do not belong, but unsure of where it is that I will fit in. I long for it to all be over, to be with my lord. Ive grown tired of this world, it&#8217;s people and what it has to offer.</p>
<p>I do not see myself content with anything other than Allah. There is nothing in comparison to him, and feeling his love.</p>
<p>Is that ungrateful? Am I un-thankful for all the blessings of this world that he has bestowed upon me?</p>
<p>I would give it all to be near to him.<br />
He is like a love that has gone away, never knowing when you will find yourself in the arms of love again.</p>
<p>I desire my beloved, and so I read his words and seek nearness to him in them, but yet it makes me long for him more, and desire where I am less.</p>
<p>I fell lost.<br />
What is the purpose of it all?<br />
What is the meaning?<br />
Have I been left here as a punishment?</p>
<p>Oh, Allah I beg you, not to forget me.<br />
I am all alone.</p>
