I feel like islam wakes me up. not in the way that makes u disciplined or something like that, that's how I used to think of it, but now I feel like so many things I do related to the Dunya(reading, maybe playing games) all feel so empty. like I'm in a state of being completely asleep, and I get some joy but an unsafe, unwelcome melancholy lingers. But when I think of islam, I feel like I've been jolted awake. like I've been asleep for a long time in a really realistic dream, thinking I'll stay in my dream forever, only to be jolted awake and remember my reality. my reality in this situation is, of course, that this is just a temporary place. I start to feel like this dunya is so.. small. miniscule, even. I don't feel like I belong. Everything starts to feel so temporary. worrying about academics or work, but deep down, a part of the person stops caring. not stop entirely, but stop caring obsessively. at some point, the person views that aspect as just a side-quest. There's a feeling of being jolted awake that I crave so deeply, and I think that only islam can fulfill this want completely.
