How do I get closer to Allah?

If you feel far from Allah, the Qur'an reframes the whole distance: He was never far. He is closer to you than your own jugular vein, and He already knows the thoughts you haven't said out loud. Nearness begins the moment you turn.

“And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein.”— 50:16 (Saheeh International)

Ask Noor can build you a simple daily routine of prayer, dhikr, and Qur'an to grow that closeness.
