He is still there even If you are not yet ready to notice him.
Just give it some time and it will happen.
Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

Its a trick of shaitan to make you think "what is the point of me doing this, i might as well not pray because Allah does not like me", etc. I was watching a lecture (by Nouman Ali Khan) and he said that this is shaitans trick, he saw a mother shouting/telling off her child and the child get crying and the mum was walking away, and the kid still kept following the mum wanting her attention. He said from this that we can learn from this, as we run after our mothers when we are small, because we know there is a benefit in that, but when praying, we don't. But we should. So don't let shaitan stop you from praying, ask Allah for anything and don't give up!

You know the story of the guy on the roof of his house in the flood, praying for help from [God, Allah, your choice]. A rowboat comes by, offers him rescue, but he says "no thanks, Allah will provide." A motor boat comes by, offers him rescue, but he says "no thanks, Allah will provide." A helicopter hovers overhead, offers him rescue, but he says "no thanks, Allah will provide." Finally the flood sweeps him away and he drowns. When he arrives in heaven he confronts Allah: "why didn't you provide for me?" Allah says, "I sent you 2 boats and a helicopter. What were you expecting?"
So reread your question. You try to make others happy. Your life is positive, you're surrounded by great people. Life treats you well. What are you expecting?
If what it is is your heart yearning to be even closer to God, to FEEL some of what you've read about, ask yourself what you mean by "love." Young people sometimes vow to stay married "while love lasts," and as soon as that wonderful romantic feeling fades, they split up. But that wasn't love. Love is built up, brick by hard brick, through shared suffering: crying on each other's shoulders because their child has died, encouraging each other through disappointment, sickness, hard times. Resisting the temptation of fresh new love with the knowledge that it would just be starting all over again instead of actually growing.
God's love is experienced as faith: not blaming Allah for all the little disappointments, not expecting special treatment, but enduring hardship and helping others endure because you know these things are temporary. C.S. Lewis was Christian, but his autobiograhy, "Surprised by Joy," is instructive with regard to that special feeling. Better yet, perhaps, is James Carse's "Finite and Infinite Games." If you remain open to surprise, less constrained by expectations, I think you'll find Allah.

well, probably ure life is captured by the routine, maybe you should get in touch with your heart more, go outdoors at night and get totally relaxed and deep down your heart you will feel the connection with something out there, this is god. try to meditate, it helps alot.
and if u simply not convinced anymore that there is a god, you should just follow your heart, dont try to force yourself to feel a certain thing or to believe in it. the important thing is to be happy.
good luck.

Allah will be real for you as soon as you stop looking for him using your standards means of communications,which are words and sentences that we humans use.
To communicate with Allah you have to talk with your heart,to send him feelings,to send him very quality abstract words,and then you will get an answer right now.

Great men and others philosophers were of the opinion that It is God who has created us.We are his children and all that he does is for our well being.It's nice to note that you carry a very positive outlook by making people around you happy.This is in-fact God gifted and he is with you.It's only a matter of belief and with good guidance you can prove it you yourself.The only magic trick is Meditation and you will see the difference.Hope My answer helps you.Thank you.

Allah is not a felling he is a reality. to realize that reality you have to think about him and to think about him you have to pray 5 times a day. i know its hard but try to take the time out of your day to establish the daily prayers. You are not evil at all, just try to do stuff that reminds you of your lord whatever his name might be.

How can you feel something that isn't real? Gods are all an abstract human thought. If there were no humans, there would be no concept of gods.
