Question:
I would mostly feel presence of Allah and I would feel that He is with me but suddenly I don’t know what happened but that presence is now gone even though I have always been constant with salah, Quran etc.
Its is making my devotion feel worthless!
Answer:
Our master Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, tells us that our devotion IS worthless. We must come to Allah empty-handed, helpless and hopeless. That is why, in the Naqshbandi Tariqa we begin our daily worship by renewing our shahada, confessing that this is our first action for Allah’s Sake and all our previous words, deeds and worship are failed and unaccepted and our sins have overcome ourselves. At that time inshaAllah His Loving Care will reach us, and Allah knows best.
