Is there a way to create a more emotional connection with Islam? I see a lot of Duas that ask you to cry and have sincerity but how does one actually build an authentic connection with the religion?
More understanding creates more connection with religion. We need to understand that our Creator, Allah, did not Create us with out guidance but Guided us to the proper way of life when He Sent religion to Make our life a real human life which is different from animal life.
It is very useful to recite Quran, and Du'a especially Sahifa Sajjadia ( Supplication numer 20).
Wassalam.
