Loneliness

Salam Aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

سلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

I feel I need someone to vent to, so I thought; "why not talk to the ummah".

I am a male revert, since two years ago now, alhamdulillah. I come from a atheist-background so my reversion was a shock for many of the people around me. I've learned a lot of the deen, but I am no expert nor am I perfect in my practice. But my problem is loneliness.

I have a good supportive family but I still feel very lonely. I know it has to do with the fact that I do not pray consistently. But the hard part is that I don't have anyone to talk to about this since none of my family are muslims. I don't want the "go out and have some fun" talk again, because what they consider fun is going to parties and doing other such activities. I feel so lonely that it has gotten to the point that I just want Allah to take my life some days. I feel I have no one in my surrounding that I can sincerely share my feelings with. I am just tired of being lonely. It's a sickness when you've been alone for so long, that you would rather be alone than to be abandoned again. So the point is that I feel very lonely, I feel that I have no one to genuinely open up to and that I know I need to start being consistent in prayer, but what should I do about this loneliness? Should I seek a wife or should I keep waiting and be patient or should I do something completely different?

If you read this, thank you.

Please make dua that I be patient.

Salam Aleikum. سلام عليكم

ان الله مع الصابرين
