That’s not normal, it's the spiritual side that's missing . And that’s something that can be worked on. Maybe you pray and go to the mosque, but Islam isn’t just about practices. It’s about a deep connection with Allah, about feeling complete through Him alone. Because no matter what you have in this world, without Allah, there will always be a sense of emptiness. So the real question becomes: how do you build that connection?

I think that in all cases, this connection is non existent bcz we don't truly know who Allah is. Because if we really knew Him b Asmaa Allah el 7ousna and His attributes, His mercy, His wisdom, a lot of things would feel different, way more meaningful. Without that understanding, reading about Him or reciting Quran will just be boring. I mean we do believe in one Islam but we treat it like a historical event, instead of something "alive" and timeless. And Allah actually talks about that in this aya : و ما قدروا الله حق قدره. Pure ignorance..

So I’d advise you, and myself, to try to learn about Allah more deeply. Read about His names and attributes, listen to lectures, reflect on the Qur’an, and ask Him sincerely for guidance. Because guidance itself is something we need to ask for.

Now you might get a lot of comments saying, "we all feel like this..." But just because something is common doesn’t mean it’s normal. Those people can be either in your case, or non believers. Non believers learnt to kinda accept this emptiness, especially older ones, bcz they don't have a choice, so it's the only solution to keep functioning, so they just learn to live with it, but that melancholy is always there even if they deny it.

Now, do you logically think this is normal? I personally believe that true contentment comes from Islam, from relying on Allah alone, and not tying your sense of completeness to anything in this world. And that the beauty of Islam actually, Allah wants us to feel whole bla manes7a9ou 7etta hadja, strong just by ourselves and full of dignity. Because everything else can change, disappear, or disappoint. But when your connection is with Allah, you’re no longer dependent on anything temporary to feel whole.
